I use Wizard also but I usually stock up. The $9.95 minimum shipping can kill any incentive for a small order.
I would have loved to have run into so many of these at one time. I had excellent luck with mint bags and doubled dies on the Homestead quarters...
Your first photo shows a pre die break depression. As this gets worse it will form into an interior die break and also cracks emanating from the...
If you are speaking of registration marks, these are not usually on every set of notes but are spaced out. Very similar to coil stamp line pairs....
It's clear as a bell it's a 1909 VDBS! (JK) Possibly buffed but if normal wear, again the most worn cent I have ever seen also.
Oh yeah and I still do it. If I can't make a million bucks for spilling hot McDonald coffee in my lap I'll wait until I get arrested for passing...
I always open these types of rolls. Nothing to lose really and you might find something special. I have found several die cracks and die chips...
Try paying the kids at cash registers today ( I have ) and they think it's play or fake money. "Excuse me while I ask the manager about this".

@Wadesterling101 Definition: When a thick flake spalls off the interior of the die face it leaves a void we call an interior die break. It...
Very comfortably with a fake Posture Pedic mattress. ;)
@Insider did a piece on these being found as fake in a recent Numismatic News. I'm hoping he will be able to do a spot here also.
Someone finally found my toilet test subject! That's my "T" identifying mark in the right obverse field.:woot::confused:;)
Perhaps the Mint go backwards in time and examine some of the iconic designs that only made it to the pattern stage. There's plenty to choose from.
You might not be done with them as soon as you think. The American Coinage Redesign Act passed during the last administration could make possible...
Very nice but please tell me that's not a hit to the right wing of the eagle at the top.
At the very least the design does not over power the coin as a whole. I am left wondering why the .999 was not included in the fineness of the silver.
Capitol seems a tad higher in Type 2, meeting the middle of the 4th ray instead of just touching the bottom of the ray.
Separate names with a comma.
