Hi all,
A couple errors I could use help with and a couple just to share.
Please help no. 1: I believe this is a brockage but there is a twist. In the right light (second image, turned upside down) I can see the date 1995 , part of LIBERTY and some details of Lincoln.
Please help no. 2: I suspect either a die trial or a crazy struck through? Help again!
Just to share neat stuff....
Cool fold over cent with IN GO struck on the edge of the rim:
A neat double struck in collar cent:
Thanks for the anticipated help and the opportunity to share!

I don’t know much about error coin values and such but thanks for sharing. Some are pretty neat. How did you come by them?
No 1 - it's struck by a thinning Die Cap, and it's so thin
the date,etc. is showing thru the thin metal obv. cap.
No. 2 - if the two photos are obv. & rev. of the same coin,
it's not an error, based on what I can see. If there is a normal reverse to it,
I'd like to see that.
Those are neat indeed. Thanks for sharing with us!
Neat errors! Nice pics as well.
I like 'em!
Very cool!
Great pictures.... I look forward to Fred's input after you provide the clarification he requested. Cheers, RickO
Great looking errors.......

Nice coins!
Like!
Awesome coins! These are super cool. Here are my guesses:
It is a late state die cap, but there’s something more going on…possibly a late brockage or counter-brockage of some sort. I was never good at figuring these out!
Most likely PMD. It has a very low possibility of being the middle coin of a “sandwich” strike, but I’ve never seen an authentic example to compare it to.
If the weight is correct, I would say you are right that it is a foldover strike with secondary obverse die contact. If it weighs less, than I would consider it broadstruck on a straight clip planchet with secondary obverse die contact.
Double struck, rotated in collar.
WOW!
Thanks so much to all for the feedback, education and kind words. You all make it very fun and educational to share.
To Mr. Weinberg: Quite an honor to have you chime in! The two images are of the obverse and reverse so sadly, according to you, not an error....and I'm betting you know as well as anyone.
On another note; thank you for all you have done and do for numismatics!
Thanks again to everyone!
I’m just a little off……
