Penny error?

Does this penny have multiple errors? If so what are they called. I'm trying to learn more about errors so that I can better identify. Thank you.

Thank you for your response. The information you provided will be helpful, I sure. I would like to know what type of error is seen, if any, so that I will know what to research.

The D mintmarks is simply filled with debris. Over timeas these working dies make coins, debris such as filings, grease and other things can clog the die, especially mintmarks and designer initials. In my opinion, it's not really worth much.

As for the reverse of the coin, it looks like post mint damage. It hits the rim and the field (flat area of the coin). There is a very slight chance it could be a strike through, meaning something got in the way when the coin was struck but the more I look at it, the more I am convinced it's post mint damage.

Thank you very much. I have a new discovery that was submitted in attribution forum. Not having much luck with responses there, so I’m going to post here and hopefully you will take a look and give your opinion.

If you feel the attribution is taking too long, go to the members list on this forum. Search for Jamez (yes, with a z). There will be a black chat cloud next to his name. Click on that to send him a private message. He will be able to get you an answer, or maybe poke whomever is working the issue to respond.

One thing people in general do not realize is that many people who help are volunteers. Many still work or wear several hats. Patience is virtue, but if you'd like an answer within a reasonable time frame.

The problem is a lot of us try using our inexperience in collecting coins as a way for others to use their hard earned knowledge without us having to actually READ and educate ourselves! I’m guilty of it too! Being the Lazy Coin Collector! Until I was asked one day, would I ask my supervisors at a job or professionals in a hobby I like, to do my job or achieve greatness for me, without actually putting in the work myself and think that I’m going to get away with it? We are fortunate enough to have a forum where we have experts that have absorbed this knowledge for many years. I am still learning and will continue that way for a long time, but I don’t know anyone who ever learned a single thing letting someone else do all the work for them! When these guys and gals post links, I follow everyone I can just to see what I can learn even if it doesn’t pertain to the certain coin I’m interested in! That’s free, with no debt whatsoever, KNOWLEDGE! Most of the people on here that don’t consider their self a new collector, which I am a new collector, I’m only speaking from my perspective, my opinion, And that is these teachers help us learn an awesome hobby If we want to learn about, but if you want to gain knowledge, these teachers will help you learn everything you need to know, but you have to do the work they will point you in the right direction! Thank you guys for all the work you do for free and the knowledge you bring!

I appreciate the fact that you need to express your opinion, that’s what forums are for. However, your response is rude and condescending. I have been collecting for about 4 months. I have purchased several books, visited my local certified numismatics coin shop and followed every link provided. I am putting in the work to educate myself. With that being said, the different errors can be confusing and sometimes you just need a more experienced person to confirm or explain an assessment. Your post provided no educational value, only criticism.

I would appreciate it if in the future you do not feel the need to express your opinion on any of my posts. Have a blessed day.
