Any Idea what causes this to happen to these?

    I found these two while CRH and am at a loss as to identify the reason why they happened, or if they add any value.
    Thanks.

    1946 damage and hits e.t.c.That 1972 appears to be a grind and press job? and Kind of looks like a capped die strike,intreasting even though its not.

    The 1946-S is called a "ghosting" effect, a definite keeper. The 1972 is damaged. It looks like it was squeezed in a vise with another coin.

    Indirect die transfer on the wheat cent, that one seems really obvious.
    As noted, the other is damaged.

    Thanks for the link about PIDT. It's always nice to learn something new, which seems to be endless with coins!

    What I find a bit odd then, is that the obverse letters on the reverse are raised.

    It's just an observation. I'm not questioning anyone's reply.
