Finally dug this one out and took new pics of it. It's a 1940 cent: [IMG] [IMG]
I'm posting this just as an example to newbies about something that might be mistaken for an error. Anybody's guess as to what the intention...
Agreed. Struck through grease and crapola on the back.
PMD. Whether it was a chisel or not doesn't matter, someone trashed this coin.
I've found a few. Check the other side of your Canadian penny. The date may be there.
Ditto. spender.
Nothing sweeter than finding one in a stack! Good for you!!!
Okay, good luck.
Take a look at the rocks next to it. The others you have posted have too much glare to show the detail.
That is a good one!!! The condition will bring the value down but it should still be at least $200 or so.
I think that's just part of the design.

Wild guess..... silver.
Better pics: [IMG] [IMG]
I've unwrapped a lot of coins that were wrapped in plastic wrap and found a lot with very unattractive lines on them from the creases of the wrap....
Good point.....and do you need exact change?
Sorry, can't make out anything. Pics are way too small.
Lots of heat damage.
Machine doubling. When the die comes loose, it'll have a tendancy to "chatter".
No errors. The first is probably a dryer coin. (Caught in the fins of a commercial dryer). The second is common die deterioration.
Separate names with a comma.
