    No they aren't in less you are needing them to fill a book and don't have one your coins are just normal circulated coins.
    The 61 appears to have some MD (machine doubling based on your pic.IMO

    They are not Broadstruck at all. I only see Circulation wear.

    This is Broadstruck.. From my collection -

    They are slightly larger than a normal Nickel.

    I agree with everyone above.
    Not broadstruck. Worth 5 cents each.

    Lol I know it's hard to tell from the pics but the 61 is very indented both sides and looks like a bottle cap I'm new and maybe using the wrong term maybe machine dbls ?

    The correct term is "horribly damaged". It does not make coins worth more; it makes them worth less, or even "worthless".

    Like those nickels. What does 6 FS on the 99's mean. Like the 2nd 99. Took a good blast

    The 61 looks like it rolled on its edge a long time and that is why it looks like a bottle cap. Notice how thin the rims are looking straight at the coin? Paddymans examples dont look like that. Kinda like driving on the rim of a wheel without rubber on it. It spreads the metal out.
