Re: 1920 1 cent Large/1920 Small

Welcome to the forum

Large and Small would be the size.
In 1920 the RCM changed over from the large cents (think Queen Victorias) to the
small cents that we see today. This was done as a cost saving measure.

Re: 2023 Charles III ?

Looks like a minor Struck Through Grease. Not uncommon.
Are there more in the roll the same?

Re: 2008 Canada one cent error?

These look like they have been struck through grease. Notice how each one is slightly different.
After each strike there gets to be less grease on the die reducing the struck through area slightly.

Re: 2 dollar canadian coin year 2000 missed strike on center and pedestal D

Welcome to the forum The value of your Toonie is $2.00 The pedestal D only has a premium in high MS condition ( it is caused by a die chip) and the core is not off enough to worry about. There has to be a space between the ring and the core to have any value. If you still want to try and sell it, th...

Agree with Bill, that is Machine Doubling, one of the worthless types of doubling.

Re: Is this an inverted American quarter?

That is the new style Obverse for US American Women quarters as of 2022.
Google US American Women’s quarters to see the series.

Re: AMERICAN 1965 QUARTERS 1 Black Beauty 1 Regular

A black beauty is a 1957 Jefferson nickel that was improperly annealed.
What you have is a quarter that has toned black. The other is just a regular circulated quarter.
Sorry to say but there is no numismatic value to either one.

Re: 1984 amarican double ear penny error

Not a Doubled Ear, just a damaged cent all around.
Also a Doubled Ear is a variety, not an error.

Re: 1$ 1987 Multiple errors

It is only an error if it happens during the actual striking of the planchet.
Anything that happens after that is damage. What you have could not have
happened at that that time so by default it is damage. It is impossible to say
exactly where this happened.
