Anything valuable here?

1776 1996 bicentennial quarter
Some gold dollars 2 of them have some damage near the top. Maybe happened during the minting process?
a penny with a hole in it not sure if somebody did that or if it was minted that way.

Sorry, all spenders.

Another lazy poster who does not want to do any research,ignore these guys after a few posts if they cannot figure it out.

The one liberty 2000-p is silver front, and gold back. If you look at the edge you can see a little silver the entire way around, and than the back is probably 75% gold.

Clickbait thread title. Unhelpful and poor form.

I doubt that was intentional. What thread title would have been good form for those coins?

Random modern & damaged coins - what value?

Plated or toned. Worth $1

None of your pictures show a coin with a silver front and a gold back. Based on what you've shown, you have pocket change that is worth face value. If you think you have something else, then you need to post pictures that show us what you see in hand.

The background choice for your pocket/parking lot change is a poor choice for pictures. Would a better background help the change? No but it would be easier on my eyes.

Pocket change. Spend them.

I'll try to take better pics of that coin tomorrow. I tried my best. Its hard taking photos of coins. Do scanners work better?

JBK

Are you using a cellphone? Zoom in and make sure it's in focus before you snap the photo. Then crop out the background afterward.

The 2000 Sacagawea dollar has different toning on each side, but it's not particularly unusual.

Sorry but there is not a collector (most likely) that would save these coins. Just spend them, they are all common and not rare or special. No the mint does not make coins with holes.
I hope you learn something constructive and then put it to use. Collecting coins is a fascinating hobby that can last a lifetime. But, got to do some reading before you start spending money for coins. I recommend The Red Book of US Coins to get you started on the right path. You can buy a used one on ebay for under $10. Has every coin minted in the US and values and shows most of what you need to learn.

Here is the 2000 Liberty dollar, and a pic of the side showing silver, and gold split.
Also I took better photos of the 1776-1976 Bicentennial Quarter.

JBK

That is Sacagawea dollar, not a "Liberty dollar". And it's not a "silver and gold split" - it's a normal clad edge for these dollars. The darker color is tarnished copper, and the lighter color is the alloy layer(s).

As for the quarter, exactly what is you think is special about it? It looks like a normal (slightly nasty) circulated Bicentennial quarter to me.

Environmental damage most likely.
Spend them on silver and gold.

OP: the only real value here is the sound advice you’re getting. The coins are not; only face value.

We should all simply ignore the OP. All he does is ask about "errors" and when we tell him they are PMD, he lists them on ebay. He clearly doesn't care to learn.

Edited to add: he has the world's largest collection of "annealing errors"... or not.

That ebay account isn't me. I don't sell coins on ebay. I screenshotted the dime to see if it was worth anything.

That was a little harsh, but yeah- these are all spenders. Worth only face value.

Heads up.
This user is a troll.
Take a look at their profile picture. It isn't a randomly generated default image. It looks like a racist caricature.
On top of that "Is my pocket change an error or valuable" is obvious bait

I think there’s a good chance that you jumped to the wrong conclusion. Did you see his thread about his CC dollar?
Trolls don’t tend to post to and converse in threads, as he did.

Then I stand corrected. I was a little confused when you said "before I got it".

RiveraFamilyCollect

To me that just tells me that the troll is someone who knows coins.
They also know enough to bait people with pocket change threads.

Hi Doug, I just tagged you in a related post. You should see it in your notifications.

P0CKETCHANGE

This may be an unpopular opinion, but with the number of unprovoked insults and false accusations thrown at OP (lazy, clickbaiter, ebay fraudster, and even racist), perhaps our banned friend Bambino may have had at least one valid point.

There seems to be often a lack of civility, and in some cases outright hostility towards newer (and in some cases, well-established) posters here. The rush to judgement and negativity reflects poorly on some members here.

I agree that the parking lot posts from novices are frustrating, many of which are influenced by social media posts with promises of quick riches. Once upon a time my collecting began with face value coins like SBAs, clad Kennedys and bicentennial quarters that I thought were valuable. We all started somewhere.

Yes, unfortunately a minority of new posters become combative in their ignorance, and yet instead of being ignored, those threads explode into epic ego battles where posters score points for ostentatious pedantry. Often it’s like watching adults fighting with little children, and IMO everyone involved loses, including the forum as a whole.

I frequent this site because it’s the main place I socialize within this hobby, and greatly enjoy sharing and learning new things from really smart people here. And maybe it’s just me, but it feels like the tone has gotten increasingly toxic. Debate and strong opinions are what make this forum great, but the delivery is pretty brutal sometimes.

I’m not looking for an argument, just sharing my observations. I’m sure many will see it differently, but I thought for the benefit of the forum, it was at least worth saying.

It all just depends on the stickers. RGDS!

Thank you i guess. I have been doing research, and honestly use this forum to get expert advice. I am new to the coin collecting, and just figuring out what is worth money. Seems most coins are very rare defects. Guess i'll buy gold and silver. Can't go wrong with those. Also my 1883 morgan dollar.

Goldbully

Is that a thick pile carpet? There may be some value there.

Most coins have defects. I'm not sure I'd call them rare.

There's no doubt that some fact badly to such threads. But Bambino made threats and insults, so I'm not sure if would give him any credit. And in his case, there was ONE meme that at him off. The first dozen responses he got were accurate and polite.

I only give him credit for the one point, and I’m not defending his actions in any way. The rest was utter lunacy that would have better been ignored.
