Hi. All new to coin collecting. Can anyone tell me if these are valid errors or just damage?

I appreciate all the knowledgeable people here and really enjoy reading and seeing coins!

Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum! :)

    First photo is post mint damage. (PMD)
    Second photo is an RPM D/D
    Third and fourth photo are die chips.
    Fifth photo is an RPM D/D
    Sixth photo is a die chip.
    Seventh photo is an RPM with PMD on the date.

    You can look up your RPM's here. ;)

    Thanks for the quick answer and thanks for the welcome!

    Is there any value to any of these? I guess it's value is whatever someone wants to pay. :) Is it worth sending this in for grading of errors? Or easier to find someone interested in these type of errors?

    None would be worth the cost of grading.
    The die chips are common, there are folks that collect them but most want to find them rather than pay for them.
    Your 44 D RPM may be a better one (I didn't look it up) and your 1960 D in the fifth photo may be a better one.
    You would need to look up both of those RPM numbers and then check sold prices for them.
    If you can't find the RPM numbers on Variety Vista (the link I provided) you can come back and ask for help finding the numbers.

    I agree, except don't you think #1 started off as a lamination? 🤔

    I also vote lamination on photo #1.

    I agree #1 is a lamination with PMD.
    It was a little late when I responded.
    Thanks @JBK and @MarkKelley for correcting me. ;)

    Thanks this was very helpful!

    How do I mark a question as answered?

    You would have had to start the thread as a question like your new thread, then it gives you an option to accept the answer.

  • ifthevamzarockinifthevamzarockin Posts: 8,902 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Just to clarify, when you start a thread you can start it as a question, once the first person responds the system will automatically mark it as answered, it will then give you an option to accept the answer and you can accept more than one answer. If you did not start your thread as a question you can't mark it as answered. If you check your new nickel thread you should see an option to accept the answer and then you will see a checkmark next to answered. ;)
