Some of these are Mint ERROR's and some may just be P.S.D....

Some experienced collector's please help me identify these errors! 6 coins total!

Thanks, a lot! :)

2.) 1988 Penny (2nd picture) (just obverse) (004)
3.) 1992 Penny w/ high rim (3rd and 4th picture) (just reverse) (006 & 007)

    I looked at only the first photo. It appears to be nothing more than another corroded cent. I didn't bother looking at the rest.

    How did you become interested in "cherrypicking"? This forum has been swamped with new "cherrypickers" who don't seem to have even the most basic numismatic knowledge. Is some online source promoting "cherrypicking"?

    And nope, I had ZERO knowledge of numismatics......but everyone must start somewhere...yes?

    :)

    And take a look at the rest for me, please.

    Clicking on most of the photos (not all),
    they are all obviously damaged coins.

    Beat up cents. Even if you had a legit mint error, condition limits any value. Start by looking at coins in very good condition.

  • Thanks for the tip, Smudge!
