USA COIN ERRORS - ARE THEY WORTH ANTHING?

Post by rescuerob » Sun Nov 17, 2024 8:59 pm

Hi All,

As I learn from the pros on here, you have been a real help...thank you. Question I have now. Are coin errors worth anything? Who buys them if there is a market from them?

I have posted some pics of errors I recently found... Looking for any info on value (if any)..

1970-D Wheat Penny with struck off centre.



1916-D Blank of reverse side of the planchet



Buffalo Nickel wrong size planchet?

The first is an off centre strike, a legitimate error.

The second coin has just had the reverse ground off, you can’t have a coin
with with the rim only showing on one side.

The Buffalo nickel looks like the rim has been removed, I would like to see the
other side and the weight in grams to two decimal places. Don’t know what wrong
planchet it would be could struck on.
