    I give you a D-. No cogent question - does WHAT look right? Format? Coin" Red circles?

    Looks more like post-MInt damage (PMD).

    There are no mint errors in the pictures you have posted. There does appear to be a damaged zero (post mint) and a slight machine doubling on the seven.....It will help if you clearly specify what you think you see... Yes, the arrows/circles help a bit, but there is nothing there of significance, so we need some written clarification to add to the picture. Cheers, RickO

    I'm not seeing any error.

    I circled to see if the circles and arrows matched up the same in the two pictures. But okay all, thank you

    Rule of thumb. If you are looking that close, you still have at least a few hundred more to go.

    Anything that requires that much magnification is of no importance. Don't waste your time or eyesight on such things.

    Even coins of the same denomination, date and mint will show minor, microscopic variations from one to another.

    Each die is finished individually and will vary from one another in tiny ways. Additionally each coin is struck individually with slightly different pressure, alignment and die wear. So tiny variations are the norm, sometimes in the die and sometimes in the strike. There are endless combinations for tiny variances in the finished coins.

    To be considered an error or new variety, the variation in the die or strike has to be major in nature. It's possible to find a new die variety or error but variation usually has to be observable by the naked eye (without magnification) to be accepted as a major variety or error.

    @SeanB No your circles and arrows don't match up. They are all very different. Some arrows look like arrows, but a few don't. It looks like you had some problems drawing the circles also as they don't connect like a circle should. You are learning, but still need a lot more practice to draw better circles and arrows that match. Like I tell my daughter's 3 year old godchild, keep practicing you will get better.

    Use a common magnifying glass to do quick scans of your coins. Its not necessary to use a microscope to look at your coins. Anomalies in coins will be quite obvious if they are real and a legitimate error. You appear to be looking for the one in a million coin error. At the present level, you would enjoy your coins more if you look for the ones with no marks or scratched or dents or dings and no spots and that have lots of luster. A "perfect" coin can be as valuable as an error coin and you are much more likely to find a near perfect coin than you are a ultra high dollar error. Use some logic when you are coin hunting and you might make an impressive score. Stop looking for unicorns and go find that horse.

    He wants to know if it's a small date and I would infactically state, maybe.

    Some arrows are appear to point left, some appear to point right, but that is merely the classic neo fascist decadent bourgeois label without asking the arrow what THEIR orientation is.

    For too long, the arrows have suffered being labeled LEFT RIGHT UP DOWN IN OUT under the oppressive yoke of the hob nailed boots worn by the faux proletariat minions pandering to the tyrannical masters of indicative direction.

    Can't we not judge, discard all the labels, and everyone just get along?
