Do you keep very very minor errors like these?

StrikeOutXXX

Was going through a jar of slightly strange things I set aside over the last few years and wondered if things like these are actually worth keeping (Not necessarily just large value wise, but are they just too common, or something worthy of a 2x2 and hanging on to?) I have many of these slightly off rims and a dozen or so similar nickels. Forgive the pictures, still experimenting.

Slightly off center rim


Another strange rim


Maybe struck through grease?


Thanks!

I set them aside, but i dont even know if they are worth anything.

The 82 cent is clearly worth keeping. I see many dimes like that. I am not sure about the nickel... it looks more dirty than struck through.

Yes I do.........I know, I know....modern crap!

I collect odd things like this and foreign money in change. In fact, recently, I found a Jamaican $5 coin-about the size of our nickel. Care to guess how much it is worth in American money? It equates to about $0.042 cents......

See, stupid stuff like that!

Yes, all the time. In fact, I just purchased a large group of coins today and a bunch of stuff like this was included. Your 1982 is a keeper. It's a Mis-Aligned Die (also known as MAD). The nickel looks more like spending money. I would spend it anyway. The dime is also a MAD, but very minor and common. The 1982 cent is much harder to get with that degree of mis-alignment.

Dimes and 2000 cents seem to be the bulk of the MADs (Thanks Rampage). I couldn't get the nickel photo that well, most have the same pattern on obv/rev, so I'm leaning more a strange anaomoly in the metal content, the few that only show one side, I was thinking grease, but it is just as likely dirt I suppose.

Doesn't sound stupid. Not having any coin shops around, I'm sort of at the mercy of what the antique store has. They had bags of foreign coins, and one day he told me, I'll give them all to you for $5.00 (about 200 coins). Thought why not - I had a blast finding what most were, still have about 1/2 to go. About 2/3 are from 1910's to 1940's. Very neat - not ready for a darkside conversion, but they are interesting.

Thanks for the info Rampage, I'll protect the 82 for sure then.

The cent is a keeper, the other two I would spend. I keep all kinds of stuff I find in change and about once a year I go through them and get rid of the really minor stuff. I found this dime a few years ago and so far it has survived the cut each time.

Keep the cent like what others said.

You are not alone!!!

I like the '82 small date! That's a keeper. Me, personally, I keep them all. I may have to restructure my floors soon to hold all the coin weight.
