Greetings all!
found these in some rolls of wheats I obtained.
my first question is on the '47,
Is the mashed LIB post mint? I am leaning toward error because of the reverse sides lamination & 'smear'? (for lack of better word).
also, 2 lamination errors.
the next is a weakstrike, (I believe)
and a broadstruck dime (no reeding, size of US cent),
Does anyone have ballpark values on these?
I have recently become quite interested in coin errors, and am trying to learn all I can about them,
mostly because since I started looking I have found several!
Thanks for looking & Best Wishes! :thumbsup:

That liberty part of the first one I think is PM damage. Lamination errors on copper cents are around $3 and the broadstruck dime is around $10 but not sure if the retained reading adds to it. The struck through grease wheat isnt worth anything more than the wheat itself i believe.

I just found a blank penny and a clip penny myself. That has gotten me into learning about the errors. But still being new to it... I cant see the error in your 1957. Can you point it out? or is it the small #1
 

The 1957 is known as a BIE. Die break between the b and e makes it look like another letter is there.
