Context: i was given change today after buying food and was given a dime (or what i think is a dime) that has absolutely nothing struck on either side. could anyone even confirm if this is a dime? it weighs the same weight as a normal dime (i have a scale more accurate than the one photographed) and has the same shine and smell. Thanks in advance! i don’t think it’s worth anything. first photo is the front and back second photo is the back.

Edit: it was identified as a planchet coin! worth ~$10-$15

This 1918-S wheat cent has a rim cud on the reverse at about 2:30. That part's already documented. It lines up with Cuds on Coins CU-1C-1918S-01R, and it's very likely the same reverse die.

What's interesting is lower down. Between about 3 and 4 o'clock there's a pre-cud, a heavy die crack where a piece of the die had started to break loose but hadn't come out yet. It's a separate failure from the rim cud, not the same break.

The Cuds on Coins example for 01R is pretty worn, so you can't really tell whether it had the pre-cud. You can just make out the faint top of a die crack in the same area, but there's no way to know if that's the start of the pre-cud or if wear took the rest of it. So either the 01R die had this pre-cud all along and it just doesn't show on their coin, or this is a later die state.

Either way it wasn't recorded, so I catalogued this die state and cross-referenced it to 01R. If anyone has a 01R in a different die state, I'd love to see whether the crack is there.

I am new to the hobby is this interesting or No

Hey guys, I love coin collecting. I was looking through my change, as one does, and this dime just looked weird to me. We took a picture of it, and my grandson swears he can clearly see " of America" on this. Is that possible?

Strange cluster of die chips at the bottom of the torch on this 2023-P dime. Thought I’d share with ya guys.

As the title says and implies I’m looking for resources for help with error coins from Mexico. I have a few $20 Mexican peso coins, and other denominations that exhibit errors but I can’t find any resources.

I have a few that are similar to the Presidential dollar coins with positions A & B.

My brother asked me to post this. Double die or machine doubling? TIA!

I guess there is no way to know for sure but I thought I’d ask the internet anyway.

Hi all, while I was looking at some of my pennies and cross referencing them with Variety Vista (thank you for sharing that helpful site), I noticed that one of my 2015 pennies has some potential die chips. Is that what I am seeing or maybe it is something else? I am new to coins.

I came across this while looking for errors. I’m very much a novice in coin errors and want to see what Reddit thinks. Thanks everyone!
