I found these coins in circulation about four years ago. I was excited to find the first one, and then about two years later found the second. Can someone help me figure out what kind of error they are.

Thanks,

Chris

Looks like heavy die abrasion.

They will sometimes polish the dies to remove any remnants of the dies clashing.

That makes sense. I have read and seen some of those before. Thanks!

I agree with Scooby - it is die abrasion.
