I have a 2015 Nebraska Homestead Quarter with two errors on the reverse. The first is the leaky bucket and the second is snow on the left roof! I identified the errors by looking on ebay but I am looking for justification on one of the websites. Anybody know which site covers this coin? Look at the pics and let me know and regards!

Die Chips. Somewhat common on these. Did you check for a DDR?

Using ebay to identify what ebay sellers (only) call "coin errors" can lose you a lot of money and get you a lot of disappointment. These kind of ebay-sucker-someone-out-of-their-money non-error coins are the kind that dealers get the sad task of informing people trying to sell them that they wasted their money.

The coin hobby's definition of collectable mint error is not what ebay shows. Most of the coins offered there are worthless and common die chips, cie cracks, post mint damaged/altered to sucker the unwary, or just plain damage. In fact there are more "error" coins listed for sale on ebay than the entire number of coins sold by the hobby-respected Heritage coins online auction for over a decade! That should tell a person something about how ebay sellers either do not know what they have is worthless, or they are trying to sucker people.

A cutesy name is often what people get taken in by to the tune of hundreds of wasted dollars they will never gain be able to get out of their "L@@K! RARE COIN ERRORE L@@K: purchase.

Die chips are common and despite given a cutesy name, they will not be worth a premium. Unlike a real error such as a doubled die, die chips and cracks are random and common imperfections such that anything is possible with them. Hence no actual collector value.

If you want to know what is collectable, then get a box of pennies from the bank. Sort them all by date and mint mark. Use a website such as varietyvista.com and use the pictures there to try to find a match.

IN the real coin hobby, most people still have a mortgage and car payments..and that goes for people who have been doing this for decades. Real and valuable coin errors are not easy to find despite youtube click bait videos and ebay offered (most unsold) non-error coins called rare and valuable.

This reminds me of the old movie "Hud" where the Warden says "what we have here is a failure to communicate!" What I was looking for was the website Variety Vista to discover the DDR listing! I used the wrong terminology when I called it an error, which it isn't. The various Cuds are Die Chips which create the issues for this coin! I stand corrected in my use of terms.

Coin terminology is important
Die chips and Cuds are not errors or varieties, I don't think you will find a match on VV site.

I found a listing for the bucket Die Break at Wexlers at WDDR164 that matches my bucket very close! I still need to search for the Die Breaks for the lower left roof (that looks like Snow). Lots of listings on Variety Vista as well. Regards all!

Going to need a close up of your coin just like it is shown on Wexlers' site to see if it is a DDR. The pump handle and lower window.

Cool hand Luke. The only reason that it's in VV is that it's a pickup point for a DDR. The only place you might find some die chips, breaks, cracks is here. http://cuds-on-coins.com/

Nice coin with some decent die chips. Thanks for sharing.

These are fun to find, especially if other finds are lacking.
The larger the die chip the more interest it gets by some collectors.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Nice one. I live in Nebraska, have been to the Homestead National Park where the actual cabin is. There's also a museum there. I have a DDR on the window of this type.
