Hello All, New guy here

[PadresFan23]

Hey everyone this is Anthony from Kansas. A very new to error and variety hunting/collecting and documenting coins guy.

I have always had an interest in coins but the new found attraction to errors and varieties is something that I dove deep into. I have found several unique finds along with some of the very common ones. I will share pictures as I get more familiar with using the forum.

I have been looking forward to joining a coin community and choose CONECA forum for the large and experienced community.

I will attempt to attach a picture of the first I believe error I found and ignited this new passion. I have even got my oldest son and father-in-law into hunting. When I’m talking about coins people become more interested and start to ask questions I let them know how to get started and some common things to look for I really like seeing that spark start.

In my opinion, it looks post mint damage, almost like tin snips.

That was one of my first thoughts, Thank you for viewing my first post.

I found your signature block links most helpful, I read them 2–3 times before even typing my first post and even referred back them while creating post.

Welcome to the Forum Anthony..
your first post should just be an introduction. What you like to collect.
The post of the coin above should land in the errors part or the general part of the forum.
Varieties - Posts are for RPM's and Double Dies
General - General part of the forum is for question on anything. Listings like maybe breen or other types of abnormalities on a coin planchet.
Errors - are errors in the minting process - clips, off center etc.
Welcome again. And very nice photo above. We can at least, see the detail on the coin in question.
Thanks for posting.
Eric

Glad to help. I did it to make new members struggle less with how to navigate the forum, and make the transition a little easier.

In my opinion, the rolling fissure are almost circular in nature. This coin you have has some severe shearing; its those tiny lines in the cut. It tells me that the blades moved at an angle as pressure was applied causing it to cut at an angle.

Happy hunting.
