A couple coins, need to know what I got.

The cent? A minor die rotation, within tolerance. No added value.
The quarter? A die chip. No added value.

 

On the penny what about the raised area on the left side of Lincoln memorial?

 

Your 2009 quarter is worth 25c. The problem is that too many people think tiny die breaks like what you have should be worth something. That is only true for bidiots.

Ok I understand that the quarter isn't worth anything but what about the penny? What is this bump?

 

I've been thinking about this one. It appears the oddity on your cent is raised. Thus, I don't believe it is post-mint damage. Although it shows some similarities to a die clash, I don't think it is one. I think it would be rather easy to find other corresponding marks from a clash that drastic and deep. Therefore, I believe it can only be a de-lamination on the die. This would also explain the smooshy strike since there would be more area to fill with the same amount of planchet.

 

Meh, I'm going back to die clash. I don't really do cents, but found a good overlay. If account for a small amount of rotation it seems to fit-

I think a clear pic of both the obv. and rev. of the Lincoln in question, would be good. A clash of this strength I would expect to see some remnants of the memorial clashed also.

 

The 2 pictures up top are the Lincoln in question. I can take a closer picture if an area if you want. Thanks.

 

They are out of focus, straight above shots are the best. and pics should be taken when not in a flip.

 

Is this better?

 

I can only call this indirect die transfer. The only thing I can see on the obv. is damage in the area that the memorial should be showing, if it were a clash.
