Found this penny as I was reviewing all my rolled wheat pennies double checking for errors. The ring around it is molded tight and makes it larger than a normal penny. The notch shows the normal penny edge. Is this some kind of dye cap error?
I appreciate any information that can be provided. Thank you in advance.
5 kopeck 1790 EM with double struck.
It seems that the first attempt struck of this coin was too off-centered and it was decided to try one more time. There are a lot of traces from the first struck on the coin. It also has slightly bigger diameter then usual coin.
btw: it is available for swap:)

Looks like someone framed it for wearing around the neck.Notice the rim gouge where a loop for a chain was removed.
I got this UK 10 Pence faulty planchet coin - which has a very large section of extra
metal on the lower part of the reverse. This affected the same area of the obverse,
making it cause the lettering to be only partially pressed.
The edge thickness is also slightly increased in that area.
Found this 1944 UK 3 penny bit with a piece of the top layer lifted is it an error ?? apologies pictures from my iphone ill get some better pics uploaded.
Thanks Zak Im a newbie to the coin collecting inherited about 4000 of my grandads along with a few other collections ill do some research on lamination errors now probably another few hrs on the NET !
Hi
I found this what appears to be a double headed penny in my granddads collection is it worth a closer look or just the work of a dodgy Victorian ??? sorry posted this in identification and valuations by mistake also (newbie)
I'm favoring something like 'struck outside collar' - thinking it might be unusual to inflict this type of 1/2 rim damage post mint. If anyone has a copy of Rennicks Australian errors check P112 for something similar.
Have a nice day.

I just want to show the auction at Us at the local auction house market. So far, 542 collectors are watching what will happen, The auction ends on Sunday . You may rightly ask why so little so cheap!

Just look that she is really out of circulation and her condition is really bad:
I'm going to check my wallet, It's just local folklore, but you better check your own.

Hello
You're wrong collector friend. This coin in better condition can get up to twice the price -calm $ 8,000.
The price may still rise.
The mistake is that this coin should not be shuffled in Hamburg, among others made for the Czech Republic .
a thousand pieces are in circulation, people still carry them in their wallets.
look at 1993 , small ČR-where the line leads.

Sorry! I though it was since it was really worn. Thanks for the new info - you learn something new everyday.
Цитата: "filmstar"Hi,
Found this 1944 UK 3 penny bit with a piece of the top layer lifted is it an error ?? apologies pictures from my iphone ill get some better pics uploaded.
This 3p has just Started to Laminate but the Reverse Die is Damaged on the 3p I have and its also dated 1944.
Off center Malik of Kurzuwan, June-July 1221 (Jumada I). If it looks like whoever was minting this coin was a bit distracted that is probably because they were. At the time this coin was minted the city was under siege by Ghengis Khan and his Mongolian hordes. About 2-3 weeks after this coin was made the Mongols broke through the city walls and massacred the entire population, including whoever made this coin, and destroyed the city.
Цитата: "Matthewmalah"I found this roosevelt dime and it looks like copper. Does anyone think it's a legitimate error or someone plated it? Any input would help.
what date is it?

It was probably buried in the ground for a few years. Not an error.
HUGE CLIPPED PLANCHET ERROR. the reason why the picture is so shabby is because I took this with my iPad, WHICH LITTERALLY HAS THE WORST CAMERA AND FOCUS EVER! Anyways , that’s why I used my hand for this, so hand reveal I guess?
Hi there! I am an inexperienced collector with an interest in a lot of coins
I want to know if these kinds of error coin are valuable. I've notice that only off center error coins are valuable here in Philippines. I want to know also if there's a chatroom room for coin collectors and seller so that you can easily share your coins and know the value of it. I just newbie for this hobby. I hope there's someone who can help me Thank you.

Nice thread. I have a couple of errors to share, will have to dig them out tomorrow and show you all (Too tired today, I've been at work and the side-effects of my Covid-shot are a bit... unpleasant). But one is an UNC 1989 French 10 Centimes with a clipped planchet, the other is a 2001 Australian Centenary of Federation 1 Dollar coin with a rotated die error. Shame the condition isn't better.
Come to think of it, I have a 1988 Australian 1 Dollar (one of my favourite designs of any coin, anywhere) coin with what I believe to be a lamination error... but I'll leave it to you to you all to decide, when I post it tomorrow.

I have that very same book, and I would be inclined to agree. Nice one.

I found this and wondered how these errors happened. The Obv is a negative image of VOS and the space below the Cow's chin.
The Rev looks like 10 O'clock of the Obv die.
a few months ago i got a in god we rust 2005 kansas state quarter in my pocket change (I'm using a computer right now so ill edit this with a picture when I'm on my phone)
The worst error coin ive seen irl and own
My half penny from 1965
Where to starts its got doubling galore, its reverse struck
its off center just to name a few of its issues
I've been going through a footlocker of coins I haven't touched for decades. I found what appears to be an error coin that I don't remember from when I was collecting as kid. This Lincoln Cent is likely from the mid 1980s. The back is normal, the front was not fully pressed. It doesn't appear to have been rubbed as it still has mint luster. What do you call this kind of error?
Coins In OR - USA
Collecting US and Canadian
and interesting worldwide coins and currency
I think I found another error coin. This is one is far more circulated than the other one I just posted.
The first thing that drew my attention was the rim about 11 o'clock on the front. Then, In God We Trust, the Trust is missing the T and the U and S are janky. The explanation could still simply be a buggered coin that was dropped one a road or sidewalk and run over. But, the back has none of that marking. In fact, on closer examination, the back appears to have shallow marking, and some excess material in two spots.
I am sorry about the picture not matching my post. This is a die Cap penny that was bottle capped shaped when I got it. I got this in a huge bag of pennies from a guy who owns a tow truck company. He did not search the bag , he was not a collector of coins , so I traded him a item he wanted that I had.
When I first saw this I thought it was just something someone did messing around with squashing pennies. I bent it flat and was playing with it untill I noticed the images on it.
Now ive smashed pennies with hammers,presses,train car, heat, Ive done metal fabrication, I understand the science behind the mint process. This coin could never have been done by anyone outside of the Mint. There is other coin strike impressions into it, not reversed, the copper ,zinc mixture coating and the coat to keep its color and resist metal Rot is still present. No hammer marks. You cannot do this unless you have a press capable of 580 tons psI. Then you would need the positive die to make the impressions of the coin that imprinted onto it
The Face has its depth, the Memorials 12 pillars have perfect depth E Plurubus UNUM us visible above the memorial and no stretching or smashing occuring there either. I was flabbergasted. I still am.
Any ways here it is . It might be a mulie. Im still investigatimg it
I find all kinds of errors, die cracks and chips of all sorts, partial/peeling lamination, strike-throughs (defective planchets and grease), doubling, off center strikes, clipped planchet, rotation errors (usually fairly minor). Some examples in my coin roll finds thread: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic130443.html
Just found this Russian wire kopeck of Mikhail I with incuse side that was double struck with 100+ degree rotation
Very cool coin! Yet how is it an error, is it mainly the front leg of the incuse horse that was double struck?
Besides coins I love geometry. The avatar consists of each of the 35 hexominoes used precisely once. With the 5 large yellow shapes placed like this, the solution for tiling the remaining 30 hexominoes is unique.
This is not a leg, this is a head of the horseman on the place of front leg on incuse part
I see, but that head looks quite different from the other head on the same side. Then it seems that 2 different images were hammered, the first being the image with the head right down, the second hammered on top of that. What do you think?

A couple of years ago I opened a uncirculated, sealed mint bag of 2018 “People Act” to try and sell a couple on ebay.
Most of them were in unc. but 4 in the bag are a bit worse for wear or something. Maybe they were struck using an old obverse die or struck through grease. They have scratches & dents, look as though they have been kicked around the mint a couple of times. The reverse sides are in unc. condition.
I've got a couple, but my favourite (and my oldest) error coin is this fractured Edward I sterling penny which has an error on the legend (DEW instead of EDW).
Hi. Newbie here. I have a 1997 UK 50p that seems delaminated, but appears to be nickle clad copper not curonickle alloy. Is it a foreign planchet delamination. Or a fake coin.
I found it in a bag of coins left over from when i closed my shop in 2018.
If you're looking to start a collection of error coins, Belgium seem like a good starting point at the moment with various cuds and die cracks quite easy to find…
Hu. Thanks for that. I'm really a casual collector. I had a shop for 10 years and just started to seperate the strange and unusual coins and then notice the animolies and differences. The day before the uk 20p mule was announced in the newspapers i had returned £400 in 20p pieces to the bank…. This made me look even harder.
1 euro 2002 coin Austria Wolfgang. The grocery store cashier gave me this coin when I visit Finland. I don't know if this coin error is even possible because it is a very small scar, which machine could do that error?🙂

Also, these look like two different variants of the same coin - see distance between the numbers in the date and the depth of the reeded edges. Any thoughts?

closer up…
The lettering on the obverse is smaller/larger too. Reverse is identical.

It looks like it is actually a 90 degree rotation (quarter of a full circle rotation), which is unusual and cool in my opinion, that part is certainly an error.

This Lebanese coin has two types of errors it appears. 1. It looks like the hole has been cut out twice (see the red circles in the second image), does anyone know of or have other coins of any type with a double struck hole? Of course it could be PMD (post mint damage), but it doesn't make sense to do that on purpose to such a low value coin. 2. The side of the coin in Arab writing looks like a double strike, while this is not the case on the other side. Possibly that has been caused by using a damaged die on one side and an undamaged die on the other side. Does anyone have other thoughts on how to explain that?

A few months ago, I found this Philippine 1 Piso as change from a tricycle. I noticed that the first image has many errors. The largest one is the most noticable. There were actually 10 errors* and I am currently thinking about what to do with it.
Looks like the Chinese characters have a little covering of snow on them - Unusual to find any errors on modern Chinese coins at the moment, especially cuds.
Before this is so abruptly dismissed as PMD, I have a few questions. Can we have a look at the side profile (close up)? does this look like additional material or have the sides been folded over during the minting process? If it is additional material, what is the impact on weight? Has the height of the sides been impacted by the error/damage? Can the coin be really accurately weighed and measured (what equipment does shannonmcd have for this)? Does anyone know what might have caused this damage during the minting process? What possible explanation could be put forward to explain this damage (PMD), minus the flippant comments on can openers (😂)?
We seem to jump to a conclusion far too quickly at the moment that coins such as this have somehow been damaged after they come out of the mint, when actually most mints don't inspect their products all that acurately. I'm not so sure that all these examples that are being put forward atm are PMD, although some clearly are, but the impact on new collectors of dismissing finds like this can be devistating and may even lead to some extrodinary finds being lost.

There is nothing in the minting process that would cause the zinc base material to jump over the thin copper plating. This is a foreign material thin foil (aluminum foil?) applied to the coin after release from the mint.
We had a coin possibly damaged by a can opener on this site before. Another type of machine —or another type of can opener— may have caused this peeling of the copper coating towards the inside. Here are close-ups:

This is PMD — it wasn't done at the Mint
I honestly don't think there's much of a comparison between the two. The copper plating on a penny is so thin (~0.051 mm) that if it were peeled away somehow the coin design/lettering would still be there. Whatever this is, it's above the surface.
