    I posted my process for roll-searching a bit ago, and these are the best of the oddities that I found.

    This 1994-P was the best - would it be considered a bisecting break even though it doesn't fully cross the bust?

    The striations on this 2002-D are some of the strongest I have seen. At first, I thought it was marked by some sort of machine, but looking closely the color is definitely original.

    1968-D - not certain about this one. There appears to be a die crack just inside the rim along a good deal of the coin's obverse. There is obviously damage from a rolling machine, but it really looks like a raised line in several spots, primarily from 3 to 6. There is similar cracking on the reverse, most visible through RIBUS UNUM.

    Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!

    Lastly is this 1916-P. Minor crack on reverse from rim about 3 to the upper part of the foundation continuing for a several mms. Smaller crack on the opposite side of the foundation to the rim about 9.

    That '94-P is impressive.

    What amazes me is that it circulated as long as it did, and it looks to be well travelled. I wonder how many hands it passed through without being "caught"?
