I’ve found one so far that Ik of. The S in TRUST extends backwards into the U. But as far as terms like die break line, double die etc. I am still a beginner but wanting to learn

Hmm. I bet it’s a worthless penny 😞

In my opinion, there are better ways to start collecting than to start with f̶i̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ looking for circulation errors.

Don't waste your time or eyesight looking for minor "errors". If you need a magnifying glass to see it, or have to wonder about it it is not worth bothering with. Someone may try to sell you such items for a premium but will never pay a premium for them if you try to sell such items to them.

The coin you show is just spending money.

Welcome to the CU forums @Maserati27.

Pics too blurry looks like toning; not a Mint error.

Good information about errors can be found here: http://www.error-ref.com/

@Maserati27....Welcome aboard....Hard to tell if it is a die crack or PMD...either way, would not be worth a premium...certainly not a mint error. Good luck in your searches....Cheers, RickO

@Maserati27
I was looking at the O in ONE on the reverse.... from your pic it looked like it might be a DDR-002 but the rest of the letters don't match up.

Thanks 4 giving advice on my threads. Yes I gotta not be so OCD. And notice errors that stand out to the naked eye instead of me squinting my eyes at a random penny lol
