Is this an error? Clipped coin?

I got this coin in an OGP 1972 uncirculated mint set. It's pretty small, but thought it was cool. Upper left by "God" on the obverse and lower left by "One" on the reverse.

Damage Dryer/heat damage? Or something else (Yes I googled first but did not see any similar ones)

When I looked up heat damage/dryer coins, they did not look like this. I have some others that look like the letters are chubby or fat or squished (sorry for poor descriptor words). Just wanted some confirmation before I add it to spending bag!

Is this an error? PMD or some sort of die cud?

I found this while looking through some coins my father in law had saved up in a jar. I thought the protruding metal around the northern rim of the coin was unusual but I’m not confident enough to say if it’s an error or what type.

Is this an error? Just PMD, right?

Found this guy in a roll and initially thought it was just some PMD. But upon closer inspection I began to question that assessment, especially when I saw that on the reverse the affected letters were still perfectly formed within the depression. I would expect that any of the affected devices would be smashed / flattened / otherwise disfigured but that does not appear to be the case. I have also never seen a coin where the cladding has cracked like it has here (which isn't possible to see unaided, or at least I can't)

So I have come here for the judgement of others. I assume it's most likely PMD but in the off chance it isn't I would be interested in knowing that. Also how it came to be (some kind of strike though would be my guess).

This 1920 buffalo has a die anomaly between the rim and the top of the hair on the obverse. Is this in cud territory, or just a regular die chip?

I found a Denver mayflower compact quarter, that is 99.9% silver. XRF tested. The silver quarters were only stuck in San Francisco. Am I looking at a grail find here? Someone else was obviously curious because it’s been cut, but that’s how I noticed it being silver.

What are your thoughts on this 1875-CC 20 cent? I have shown this coin to multiple people and they don’t know what it truly is. Is it damaged or is it an error? I can send more pictures if needed.

Around the edges seems to be low detail, but still the ridge. Is this a possible light strike?

In the third photo, it’s the second coin it’s as thick as a nickel, but the size of a quarter, and the back of the coin on the house has no detail. It’s smooth.

This looks like it could have a ghost D to the southwest, but I'm not sure. The date is basically worn away.

Does anyone recognize the mint mark as a known RPM?

I see some ripples along the wording and it looks like maybe some doubling on the wig on the back. I also cannot tell if the gouge along the head is sorting damage or something else

I doubt it’s worth anything, but I count a lot of coins for my job and sometimes find weird ones that I like to research just for fun. After quite a bit of research I haven’t seen anything online about this though. I’m sure this sub gets flooded with a lot of random stuff so sincerest apologies if this is more of that.

Discussion I'm confused - die striations or planchet striations?

Thumbnail
gallery
19 Upvotes

I've been reading up and trying to figure out if this 2001 Kentucky Washington Quarter has die striations (the result of mint worker too enthusiastically polishing the die with a fine abrasive) or a planchet striation (a feature of the planchet before the die strike). Part of the confusion is that the striations are most evident on the flat field of the coin (the parts of the design that do not feature design elements). This suggests planchet striation because the die would typically flatten striations that pre-exist the strike. The horse, for example, does not feature striations that I can see - the effect is that the striations seem to pass behind the horse. However, the mansion DOES seem to feature striations, which suggests that they are part of the impression left by the die. I'm new to the hobby and did my best to do research before asking, but thought I'd ask what you all thought was going on here.

Bought an old corroded IH for cheap. This looks like machine doubling but i’ve never seen it notch like this before. Is that weird or normal for the time period? Sorry for the awful pictures; it’s what I got..
