2018 Michigan Quarter Errors

2018 Michigan Quarter Errors, Varieties, & Values

2018 Michigan quarter errors and varieties exist! For instance, this 2018 Michigan quarter displays an improperly annealed planchet error. Furthermore, I almost mistook it for an environmentally damaged coin.

I learned otherwise after scouring the web for articles and visual examples and sought out advice for how to appropriately identify the error. Moreover, to understand a mint error like this, it’s important to understand how the coin production process works.

The Annealing Process

“Coins start out as blanks. First, blanks are first cut from metal coils and then sent to an annealing furnace. Then, from the furnace they go to a cooling water bath, followed by a polishing/brightening rinse. Finally, drying machines help shine and burnish each piece.” – coinweek.com

The annealing process softens the metal to prepare it for striking. Blank planchets are placed in an annealing furnace that first heats, and then slowly cools the metal.” – numismatics.

How to tell Environmental Damage from an Annealing Error

“To tell the difference between an annealing error, (which happens before striking,) and environmental damage, (which happens after striking), pay attention to the luster of the coin.

Furthermore, the sheen on an uncirculated coin with an annealing error remains visible, whereas corrosion disfigures or destroys luster.” – ngccoin.com

Improperly Annealed Quarter Error

“The copper core (reeding) shows a nice normal red copper color. Furthermore, the planchet displays as darker coloring remaining on the smooth edge of the reeding after the planchet is struck in the collar.

However, when a coin is ejected from the collar, the darker coloring is removed from the ridged reeding. The reeding as a normal red copper color is one of the key identifiers to know,” it’s legit.– Fred Weinberg – cointalk.com

Furthermore, the colors most associated with improperly annealed planchet errors are “copper, red, black, brown, and gray. Coverage can be complete or incomplete.” – error-ref.com

Improperly Annealed Planchet Error Values

Improperly annealed planchet error values depends on a few factors. They’ve sold between $5 and $20 in raw condition on Ebay. This type of mint error can have asking prices higher than a hundred dollars, if it’s been properly authenticated.

A 2003 P Illinois State Quarter improperly annealed sintered planchet error, sold at auction via Great Collections for nearly $20. A 2002 P Mississippi State Quarter Improperly Annealed Sintered Planchet, sold at auction via Great Collections for just $16.00.

The return of investment doesn’t appear worth sending a quarter with an annealing error in for grading. Demand isn’t high for this type of error, so if you find one you’ll profit more by selling it in raw condition.

2018 Michigan Pictured Rocks Quarter Error

Examine pocket change carefully! This camouflage colored 2018 P Michigan Pictured Rocks quarter with an improperly annealed planchet appears to be a dirty coin, but rather is actually a rare mint error.

The copper reeding on the coin wouldn’t be its natural color, and the quarter would be lacking its luster if it was just a normal dirty coin. In other words, you have to look beyond the camouflage!

Rare Coin Plating Errors

Furthermore, I once found what appeared as a 2019 silver painted penny that turned out to be a partial plating error! Learn more about coin production from the United States Mint.

2021 Lincoln Cent Errors, Varieties, and Values

2021 Cent Errors, Varieties, & Values

2021 Lincoln cent errors and varieties exist! Furthermore, values vary depending on the condition of the coin, and/or the type of error, and/or die variety a coin is, along with its population. For instance, observe a 2021 Lincoln cent doubled die obverse compared to a normal 2021 penny in the images below. Not the doubling under Lincoln’s ear.

Moreover, rare coins remain in high demand and collect a much higher premium. Are you searching for penny errors and varieties in uncirculated 2021 Lincoln cent rolls? It’s how I found them! Additionally, examining 2021 mint sets ensures a mint state proof specimen.

Doubled Die Variety Coins 2021 Lincoln Shield Pennies

Does your 2021 shield cent look like it has an extra ear? How do you discern the difference? Is it a genuine die variety or a contact mark? First, if a coin took a hit, then that area on the coin will appear flattened. When a penny has a doubling, like this doubled die extra ear lobe cent, the area will be raised instead of flat.

Coin Groups & Community Forums

Daniel of Portsmouth Coin Shop explains the differences between rare doubled ear cent Lincoln pennies, and contact marks, or post mint damage (PMD,) on wheat cents and memorial pennies.

Furthermore, Daniel made the effort to put together references online of cherry pickers’ lists of Lincoln cent varieties & key dates for members of the coin world community to utilize.

Collecting Rare & Valuable Die Varieties

“If collecting coins by date and mint mark became unexciting over the years, then do research into what varieties can be found for any series collected. It might re-kindle your passion for collecting and expand your enjoyment of the hobby.” – Jeff Garrett

2021 Penny Errors & Values

Furthermore, submitting a coin for grading doesn’t always equal a large profit. Moreover, the cost of grading coins isn’t an option for everyone. However, when coins turn out to be highly sought after error or doubled die variety, then clear images is all that’s necessary to list them for sale online.

Moreover, as long as you have the highest graded coin in the lowest population, it’ll be the most valuable coin. Not all pennies are worth a lot of money, but some really are, therefore invest your time and efforts wisely!

2021 Lincoln Penny Values

For instance, a 2021-D 1C Shield cent graded MS66, sold at auction for $75.00. It’s the grade that made it more valuable, even without being an error or variety. Furthermore, a 2021 P Lincoln Shield cent graded MS67RD, sold for $73.

However, the coins had to be in pristine condition in order for these pennies to be worth money. 2021 Lincoln cent errors and varieties don’t have to be pristine to be valuable.

Variety & Error Pennies Worth Money

According to the recent sold listings on Ebay, 2021 doubled die varieties sell for $5 and up in raw condition. If you’ve found one yourself, you can choose to send it off for grading and then to auction, keep it in your own collection, or list it for sale as ungraded on Ebay. It’s your decision.

Rare Error & Variety Collectible Coins

I was lured into the lucrative hobby of coin collecting after hearing the memo about the Great American Coin Hunt and West Point quarters in December of 2019. When I first got started searching for collectible coins, I became more ecstatic as I made discoveries for myself. Who doesn’t love a good treasure hunt?

Furthermore, I invested in the coin examination supplies necessary for identifying coin errors and varieties. Essentially, I started writing this blog about my experiences of finding, researching, and identifying coin errors and varieties found in circulation.

Interacting with and learning from others in the coin industry has for the most part been a pleasant experience for me. However, coin collecting books are still very helpful references, and examining coins is a peaceful activity.

Embracing the Coin Hobby

Furthermore, I’m a fairly quick study, but I’m constantly learning something new every day. Therefore I encourage everyone to get more than one opinion. Join coin groups, forums, and communities, and go to all the coin shows scheduled near you. Whatever you decide to do with what you find, enjoy the hunt!

Great American Coin Hunt the Largest Treasure Hunt of All Time

“The Great American Coin Hunt rallied hundreds of coin dealers and thousands of collectors to benefit the coin hobby. The goal simultaneously encouraged new collectors to look at their change for rare coin specimens. Basically, the plan was to disperse over one million rare and valuable collectible coins into circulation.

Additionally, everyone who participated created their own way of helping out. Hiding coins in public places, like Easter eggs. The US Mint created West Point quarters for circulation, which had never been done before.

Furthermore, companies like NGC, PCGS, Littleton Coin Company, and ANA, all participated with their own creative programs. It’s been said that this was the largest numismatic promotional program of all time.” – Rob Oberth – (“Coin Dealers Helping Coin Dealers”)

The Booming Business of Numismatics

Have you found or inherited a unique rare coin or collection of them you’d like to sell? “There are at least 5,000 active coin companies in the United States. Moreover, they range in size from one-man operations to multi-national juggernauts with hundreds of employees.

Additionally, there are at least 10 to 15 companies with sales exceeding $100 million per year. APMEX alone once touted annual sales approaching $2 billion or more.” – Jeff Garrett – rarecoingallery.com

Earn Money Flipping Coins

“It is quite funny how under the radar the rare coin business operates. I still get odd looks when I meet someone for the first time, and they ask what I do for a living. More than once, people have asked me if someone can make living selling coins. Happily, I have been doing so for over 40 years!” – Jeff Garrett

2019 Error Penny: Coin Plating Errors

2019 Shield cent errors and varieties exist! For example, this 2019-D Lincoln cent specimen is a rare partially plated planchet mint error cent coin. Have you found any rare pennies like this 2019 error penny?

Furthermore, it’s known as “incomplete plating,” and “occurs when a zinc cent planchet is not fully coated with copper in the plating bath. As a result, the zinc core remains exposed.” – CoinWorld

For instance, the partially unplated zinc planchet error shows how the copper plating didn’t completely cover the planchet, as seen in the images of this 2019 shield penny error.

“This type of plating error coincides with the introduction of copper-plated zinc cents in 1982.”

“As with any denomination cent weights can vary, with some falling above or below the mean.”

It’s therefore possible to encounter a genuine unplated cent that matches or exceeds the weight of a normal cent.” In other words, this coin weighed about average. Furthermore, the zinc Lincoln cent coin is 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper.

“The copper-plating operation of copper coated zinc planchets is done outside the Mint, by an outside supplier. Partial and 100% unplated cents are much scarcer than many collectors realize.” – Fred Weinberg

Partially Unplated Planchet Error Penny Values

Zinc cent plating planchet errors have attained interest through eye appeal to numerous variety and error coin collectors. For example, a rare 1992-D partially unplated Lincoln cent mint error coin graded MS66 by NGC, sold at auction for $85.00.

A rare 1983 Lincoln Cent Partially Unplated Penny graded MS65, sold at auction for $225.00! Moreover, partially unplated coin errors sell from a few dollars up to thousands, even in raw condition.

Finding One Cent Errors & Varieties

I recommend joining a few coin collecting groups and online coin forums to ask any questions about your coins. You won’t know what you’ve found unless you ask around. The more eyes on your coin the better.

Moreover, the coin hobby isn’t just an activity, it’s a community. Manners matter so be civil! Furthermore, the best chance of finding a doubled die variety coin or error penny just like this exquisite 2019 Lincoln shield cent, is by searching through uncirculated original wrapped bank rolls for them.

Coin Hunting Tips

Additionally, if you’re new to coin collecting, remember to save any wheat pennies you start finding, because you can already trade them in for double their face value in any United States coin shop!

Furthermore, searching 2019 mint sets for varieties and errors ensures a high mint state grade coin. For example, observe a 2003 S Maine proof struck through string state quarter error.

Moreover, some wheat pennies may turn out to be worth far more money, especially if found out to be a rare Cherrypicker, or otherwise famous die variety. For instance, check out this 1957 D RPM Variety Lincoln Wheat Cent.

Watch the examination footage of this 2019 Lincoln shield cent planchet plating coin error in the video above. Then, learn more about “diagnostics of fake and genuine unplated zinc cents,” as discussed by CONECA. Happy hunting!

Repunched Mint Mark (RPM)

“A repunched mint mark variety is generated when the letter punch used to punch the mint mark into the working die leaves two or more offset impressions.” – error-ref.com

Furthermore, mint mark impressions almost always overlap. “A totally separate secondary mint mark is a rarity, and therefore a very valuable penny. The era of RPM’s ceased in 1989 when the U. S. Mint began placing the mint mark on the master die instead of punching the mint mark into the working die.”

1957 Penny Values

In order for dies to clash, the dies must fall out of adjustment, making the minimum clearance zero (or less than zero).” – error-ref.com.
