I thought it was a 19-S? Unfortunately I can’t tell much from that picture. It’s blurry on my end and all 3 coins appear to have an edge scrape in...
Can we see a edge picture next to a correct weight CU cent. It may be a rolled thick planchet. http://www.error-ref.com/rolled-thick-planchets/
Your pictures are not good enough to tell. How about a closeup of IGWT.
Correct! US cents ( until the transition in 1982) are 95% copper and 5%zinc. That puts them in the #2 scrap copper group. The definition of #2...
Me too! Very nice for an 08 pick! Better than I see in change around here.
Very nice! Low MS 63? Nice toning.

Unfortunately no. It appears to be MD ( mechanical doubling).
Yes, I’ve looked at all your pictures. Unfortunately this is not a doubled die. Your coin has circulation damage, die wear, and what I can see...
Yes they are. Unfortunately :(, your coin is not a 1971-D DDR-001 (FS-801)....
How about the reverse?
Very nice, this is one that has eluded me. Congrats! They appear to be in great condition.
They are not brass plated. Some copper plated zinc cents have a “brassy” appearance due to zinc contamination in the plating solution. It could...
I think it’s RPM-004 stage D. http://varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20RPMs%20Vol%201/1955DRPM004.htm
Very nice. You can see another lamination east of the ear.
