I found this at a garage sale a while back. I had to shell out 5 bucks but I guess it was worth it.

I am by no means an expert. It should weigh 2.5 grams so maybe there is more to it than what I suggested before. Did you try googling to see if in 1996 there were other errors like this one?

First thing I would do is weigh it, it should be 2 1/2 grams. I have found quite a few coins like that and every one has been plated. I found online where they actually tell you how to do it. Also, if it was the wrong planchet, that would mean it was either bigger or smaller than a 1996 penny planch...

There are around 1 billion dollars worth of 1986 $2 banknotes that have never been turned into the bank, unless you had a rare prefix there is nothing special about them. Like I said in my first post, you might get a bit more because you have four uncut bills. I can still find 1937 banknotes at pret...

The book value is only around $3-4 each plus maybe a small premium as a novelty.

It is hard to see on the clipped coin but there is some kind of mark opposite of the clip. I am assuming the other is struck through grease.

I know this is the dime section but I included the penny as they both have the same error.

I think this is a lamination error. I have tons of error coins but not always sure of the proper names for them.

The first nickel has doubling and the second one is a 1957 bug tail.

I got these nickels from different places over the years. I am assuming that it was some kind of plating error and that there must be more out there because they are different years. Feel free to share your thoughts. Thx

Thought I would post some interesting coins

To me it looks like damage done after leaving the mint. I know there are people on here with much more experience than me so hopefully one of them will also give their opinion.

It will be interesting to see if anyone can figure it out.

I traded a bunch of collectibles with a guy that used to own a coin store and now does on line auctions. I just thought I would post pics of one of the items I got. You can see when the coin was struck there was something on the planchet that shouldn't have been there. For obvious reasons I can't po...
