Watch to see if YOU have any real, valuable error coins! After watching this video, you should be able to tell if you have a legit doubled die coin or not. Plus, see why so many people think that plated coins, colorized coins, miniatures coins (that are super-small in size), and macro coins (that are extra large in size) are valuable coin errors.

What is an error coin? And how much are error coins worth? Do you have a coin you think may be an error? I’ll show you 5 of the most popular types of error coins you can find in circulation (and a few commonly encountered pieces that are not real errors). Plus, some fun facts about dateless Buffalo nickels! In this video, you'll see how much each of these U.S. Mint mistakes are worth: 1) Doubled Dies - like the 1984 doubled die Lincoln cent seen in this video. There are actually MANY doubled dies out there! 2) Off-Center Coins - like the 20% to 25% off-center bronze Lincoln cent in this video, and the 65% off-center 1969-D Lincoln cent also seen in this video. 3) BIE Cents - like the 1957 BIE cent in this video, which has a die crack that looks like an "I" in between the "B" and the "E" in the word Liberty. 4) Repunched Mintmarks - like the 1957-D Lincoln cent in this video, which has what looks like a second mintmark underneath the date. 5) Die Clash Coins - like the 1987 Lincoln cent in this video, which shows oddities from the obverse die and the reserve die both hitting each other at the same time when the coin was being made. Hopefully you’ve got some real error coins of your own -- because many are quite rare and valuable! ►See how much these and other U.S. coin mistakes are worth: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/error_coins-2/ ============================ SUBSCRIBE to get more COIN TIPS: https://bit.ly/COINSyoutube 🔔 Hit the BELL next to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss a video! ============================ ABOUT The Fun Times Guide To U.S. Coins: We help you identify U.S. coins worth money!

A: All DIY methods of cleaning coins -- including using Coke or Pepsi -- will damage the surface of the coin in microscopic ways. Coins that you intend to collect should not be handled, let alone be "cleaned" because it will dramatically lower their value. Q: Why does Coca Cola clean a penny? What does Coke do to coins? A: Dark colas like Coke and Pepsi contain phosphoric acid. When phosphoric acid (the Coca Cola or Pepsi) and copper oxide (the penny) get together, the acid reacts with the copper on the penny and dissolves it. That's why pennies get shiny when they’re cleaned with a dark cola.The acid literally breaks down the copper-oxygen compound chemical bonds, allowing a fresh unoxidized layer of copper to be exposed. The copper which is removed from the surface of the pennies ends up in the cola in the form of copper ions. Q: Will Coca Cola clean old coins? Can you clean coins with soda? A: YES! Both Coke and Pepsi (dark colas) will effectively remove the natural patina from coins. The results are more noticeable with copper coins like pennies, rather than silver-colored coins like nickels, dimes, and quarters.
