1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list).

New Error Discovery

#1 Unread post by JohnCast81 »

Hello my name is John Castiilo....I'm new to this group and am excited to be involved in conversations to learn and gain experience in the coin world. I've been collecting since I was 6yrs old and am now 38. So with that being said I have a question for the real Pros..? Is this rare or a gem of a find as they say in the coin world!??

This is not a mint error or die doubled, the coin is badly damaged from circulation, please ignore marked up and damaged coins like this they're worth face value.
