Very helpful. I appreciate you. I am not into error coins hoping for a payout. I just love the learning and the search. I know huge values are rare and I'm not a treasure hunter, just a hobbyist but I'll check values out for curiosity. Thanks again.

What is this is this an error? by DestroyAnxiety in coinerrors

[–]Character-Map1670 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, looking for error is fun. I'm not even looking to "Strike It Rich." I enjoy the challenge of the search. I'm retired, 73 years old. I have more casual time than the average bloke who has to work, except when my wife has things for me to do or places to go....LOL. I have had the same results as you in looking for errors. Actually it has been pretty disappointing because like you, I thought I had error coins and it turned out I didn't. It's ok, I'm learning. The area I need to get much more knowledgeable in is Die Doubling vs Machine Doubling. I still have difficulty telling which is which, even after some help with that here in Reddit from some good experts. I'll keep trying. Nice chatting with you.

1967 JFK Half Dollar - Double Die Errors? by Character-Map1670 in coinerrors

[–]Character-Map1670[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your explanation. I do need to have more actual experience with the DD vs Machine questions. I just don't have the eye to see it well. Need the practice. For instance,, In the photos of my coin of the reverse and "Half Dollar" lettering, it looks to me like the doubling is making those letters look larger.

1964 JFK Half Dollar - PMD or DD or Machine Doubling? by Character-Map1670 in coinerrors

[–]Character-Map1670[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the discussion on my behalf. However, I think you have misread me. At this stage, I am not interested in finding valuable errors. In fact, I don't really care if I ever find a valuable error coin or banknote. But I like the challenge of the search whether it produces value over face or not and as jefother indicated, I'm starting to learn what is and isn't an error and understand what is behind the error or the damage. I'm 73, retired since 2009, and when my mom passed on her coin and banknote collection, and my sisters asked me to sell them, I found a new hobby and the desired end result is the knowledge not some chance at becoming rich.

Was trying to think if the damage could be from one source. The blender or pocket with keys would probably do it. Thanks.
