A heads up...
ONE coin per post to cut down on confusion as per CONECA forum rules.
A moderator may stop by and share the same concerns. It keeps the forum more organized.
A few veteran collectors may look at this post and not offer help. If you are not willing to provide any amplifying information and rough idea what it might be, they are probably not going assist.

You really do need to help us help you here. I suggest you re-read the forum protocol and rules. Only one coin per post, and you must tell us what it is you are seeing to help us guide you in the right direction.
MintErrors is correct though. You will not get much help this way.Bob Piazza

I'm sorry I didn't know this . I figured it would keep everything straight forward and combine as to not make many pages and pages of pictures . Thanks for the info I will have plenty to read. my main concern is that I just am wondering if any of these are worth the trouble to get certified or not ? I really don't want to waste anyone's time and especially money !Comment

I would have thought that the pictures had made it obvious to what others would be looking at -since they do jump out. Being new to all this "variety stuff" I asked for help to identify because I have no idea what category they fall under , I'm thinking (error) since they sure look like they are ..to me at least. Sorry for causing any ripples !Originally posted by MintErrors View PostA heads up...

The more information the poster is able to help, others may help them.
Here are a few suggestions:
What do you think the coin is?
Is issue on the obverse, reverse or both?
Add year, mintmark and brief description for the solo coin in the post title
if you managed to find any references online about the coin, let the community know.
Clear, focused photos are much better than close and unfocused.
Limit the amount of glare on the photos.
I always use default monitor settings (brightness/contrast) to avoid having photos too bright or dark
The reason it is one coin per post is to avoid situations like this.
It doesn't cost any more money to post one coin at a time.
Pictures add up the same if they were all on one post or separated. In fact you'd have more room for photos of individual coins than more than one. I believe it is eight photos initially with more allowed per reply.
People get to focus on the example in front of them and there is not a lot of cross-talk for a handful of coins.
Varieties are items like doubled dies, re-punched mint marks, re-punched dates, over mint mark, over dates, misplaced dates....
Major errors are items like die caps, broad strikes, off-centers, clipped planchets, defective/broken planchets, multiple struck coins, struck on wrong metal/wrong planchet or wrong thickness stock, lamination issues or struck-though to name just a few...
One thing with circulated coins. Its important to look closely at the coin, and determine if the error could have been done outside the mint. MANY are fabricated in what Bob called "garage coins".
