Hate the discussion board format? Wish there was a place to have a running chat like in the old ebay chat rooms that they took away?
Here is the solution, one thread devoted to chatting about anything and everything about coins all in the same place.
Post whatever is on your mind. There is no official topic here. So let's get the chatting started.

A question there's a lot of chatter out there about 2015 16 17 Lincoln cents that due to the cleaning wash at the mint. It's left most of them with watermarks spots that don't come off and if you find any of them in a clean Clear mint state not proofs. They are worth quite a bit to series collectors market.
The key to understanding error coins is pretty much understanding the minting process. There's a lot of stuff on eBay and elsewhere sold as "error coins" that could never be produced as the result of the minting process (and therefore are just damaged).
These dimes... I suppose it's fair to call them "error coins", since they missed a step in the production process that produced a somewhat defective coin. The problem is, they just look like poorly struck dimes, and I don't think there's any demand for them, so I just spend them. I've never read anything about them in any literature, but I think it must be some oddity of the dime that the Type 1 blank will fit into the collar. I think the Type 1 blanks that get struck for other larger coins end up producing broadstrikes or partial collar strikes (railroad rims) since they won't fit into the collar.
On the modern cents... I don't know... that's just the chase for the MS-70 coin grade, I don't have any feel for how many might have escaped the spotting problem, but the mintages exceed 10 billion, so I'm thinking there are probably more perfect coins out there than there are people willing to pay big premiums for them, in the long run.

That makes sense to me just spend them. Think I might have found a winner though see what you think! 2000 P MARYLAND QUARTER. Also, this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekAQz8bCDPs sold for thousand! Yet you can go on eBay right now and buy 2004 Philadelphia proof sets for twenty dollars or less.

this thread is a continuation of the now-defunct ebay coin chat room... every so often we'd get somebody in there who whined about non-coin posts...
they usually didn't stick around very long...
if you don't like the direction of the conversation, nobody's forcing you to stick around... if you do stick around please remember that trying to dictate the direction 1) won't work and 2) won't endear you to anyone...

good luck... with billions and billions minted (probably in the 4.5-5 billion range by the end of the year), in 150 years i doubt they'll be worth any more than they are today...

Hey Ted, can you tell me how in the heck I get to where I can ask a question about a couple of coins in the Coin Chat??? All I see are different threads that I can reply to someone else's questions?? I have a 1943-D Steel Cent that appears to be a double die but doesn't look like the usual variety. Could it be another variety? Also trying to find info on a 1865-S Seated Half with "broken" S. I see a small reference to it on PCGS but nothing on NGC and others. Trying to get a real value.

it's an interesting serial number, but interesting doesn't usually carry a premium...
still, if you can afford to put it back, why not? worst comes to worst, you've got a $100 emergency fund...
