All cents from 1962 through the middle of 1982 were struck on planchets composed of 95% copper and 5% zinc. Your coin is perfectly normal. While...
Any reeded coin in which the core is recessed has been altered outside the Mint. While acid can accomplish this, so can machining.
Photos are terrible, but the prescence of an incuse Memorial design on both sides of a previously struck cent makes it virtually certain that this...
This is post-strike damage. The coin was crushed between two plates/objects, one of which had a gap in it. That's why part of the reverse design...
It looks like an authentic, albeit unusual example of incomplete cladding.
Severe die deterioration doesn't have much of a fan base. That said, if it gets truly extreme so that design features are no longer recognizable,...
Looks like silver paint or spotty silver plating. It's not an alloy error and it's not a mint error.
It's machine doubling but it's not without value. When it's this visible it can bring prices above $10.
Despite being slabbed by PCGS this is probably not a mint error. It's far more likely to be a case of post-strike damage or an intentional...
The thinning of the letters indicates this is intentional die abrasion.
It's almost certainly a simulacrum. It's a stain that happens to match the shape of a partial numeral. Notice that much of the rest of your coin...
It's an authentic double clip. Fadeout of the design rim as it approaches each clip is a good sign of authenticity. There's also modest metal...
It's a very nice doubled die.
I see no Blakesley effect at the pole opposite the clip. You'd have to weigh it to be certain this planchet has a curved clip. It's possible...
You've got a double set of very strong clash marks and strong Type I counterclash on the obverse face. A scarce error. If you're interested in...
Condor101 appears to be correct in noting the slight misalignement on the reverse. Horizontal misalignments on both faces simultaneously is...
Your coin was struck by a horizontally misaligned obverse (hammer) die. After reaching the lowest point of its downstroke, the hammer die lurched...
I'd love to buy one, but none have appeared in familiar outlets.
This an alteration known as a "Texas cent". The plating was chemically stripped and the coin was compressed or pounded between two pieces of...
The coin is not a broadstrike. 1985-D dimes are notorious for a poorly struck perimeter, especially on the obverse face. It results from a die...
