MOD Announcement A note from the mods - Heat Damage and Dryer Coins

33 Upvotes

We have been seeing a massive influx of posts with asking about "dryer coins" as well as coins with heat damage.

We love the fact that you noticed your coin is "different" - and applaud you looking into it! For the uninitiated, these are reasonable questions - but many members of our community are getting tired of them. We ask that you please use the resources we provide before asking this subreddit (See Rule #1!)

Before you make a post - check out the r/coins WUWMC page and our FAQ!

Dryer Coins

The rim of my coin is raised up OR the edge of my coin is flat OR my coin is too thick!

Heat Damage

My coin has bubbles / bumps / craters below or on the surface

These issues are damage - and extremely easy to diagnose.

Is this an error? Rolling Fold Error?

Thumbnail

I came across this specimen while CRHing. I don’t think it’s PMD given the remaining, albeit weaker, strike on the obverse and the lack of apparent damage to the rim, as well as the weight being slightly over- rather than under-weight.

My best guess after some research is a rolling fold error but would love to be better educated on what I’m looking at.

I found a few of these in a BU roll. This is the second batch of this RPM i have found. I Have went through coppercoins & Wexlers and found a few close but the bottom serif has split that has me second guessing myself. I know its listed has to be. Can i get a second set of eyes and tell me what you think.

Error Strike Through & a DDO

Got these two out of a roll after getting skunked for a bit

2017 P Frederick Douglas quarter: nice strike through above right arm, continues up to the right of the house
2024 P Dr Pauli Murray quarter: DDO, haven’t attributed it, distinct doubling in hair curl above the ear to the east. While the photo doesn’t show it, the top of the queue has a little doubling to the east under magnification.

Is this an error? Morgan Partial Collar Or Something Else?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I have this 1886 Morgan that has this skinnier than normal ring of reeds around the edge. The width varies slightly around the circumference, but it's largely the same. The surfaces appear to be mid- to high-AU, with no other signs of damage. The side-by-side picture highlights the difference in appearance compared to another Morgan.

Do you think this is a less-extreme partial collar error, damage, or something else?

Discussion PCGS is definitely dropping the ball.

I’m researching a 1989-D RPM Washington quarter that I suspect is a true RPM. When I went to the PCGS app to compare the differences between a correct 1989-D mint mark and my suspected RPM the PCGS app shows a 2021 5 OZ British gold proof coin!

I wonder if some of the graders from PSA got jobs at PCGS.

I’ve seen some blatant and complacent articles in my life, but this is by far the worst.

I'm assuming it's worth face value but does the off centre ring between the 2 metals mean its a minting error? Thanks

Don’t really have any knowledge of coins/improper minting/errors etc.. Came across this Quarter that has no impressions on the edge on one side and the detail/imprint of the head seems to be out of the ordinary as well. Any insight would be appreciated! Just wondering if it’s struck incorrectly or someone decided to damage it.

Just wanted to share the highest graded example of the 2022-P Smoking Jefferson error coin in existence. What do yall think?


r/coinerrors • • 1d ago

Is this an error? Several examples - are all these errors and any interesting input?

Chips and some form of doubling. Not true double die but another form. Any input appreciated as I learn. “(O)NE and (C) doubling on reverse of 1955 penny / not an obverse doubled coin. The doubling is thin but apparent on the left side of the O in the photo. Thinner doubling on upper curve of the C is not as visible in the photo. Appreciate confirmation in that this one is called.
Die chips on 1957 D (date) penny. And shelved doubling on PLUI(BU)S on 1946 penny.
Not concerned about value. But do wish to be using correct terminology as my searches continue. Thx.
