No expert by any means, but I agree with micbraun. Some of the marks might perhaps be some kind of struck through, but the W in the right field...
Sorry, not the repunched 1.
I'm certainly no expert, and it certainly could be double struck, but I would think more would show up on the reverse as well if that were the...
Very nice clash!
As Paddyman98 said, it is a circulated, and therefore impaired, proof. Not much money value, but hey, it cost you only a dime. I think it is a...
Unlike some, I find the broken ladder cool. Not, mind you, cool enough to keep a $100 bill, but cool enough to keep it if it were, say, a $1...
The pictures are at an odd angle and make it difficult to tell exactly to what you are referring. That said, it appears the left rim of the...

Nice find. No expert, but I'd day AG.
I think it was Mr Plum in the Library with a candlestick. :)
I'm no expert, but I believe PaddyB is right on the id, except I question the denomination. It says on the coin, FYRA ORI, which my googled...
I don't remember discussing it with him personally, but I suspect he was a Christian in the same sense that many pagans become Christian even...
Even a true doubled die can have machine doubling like any other coin!
No expert here, but it looks more like die deterioration to me.
Looks like a plating issue to me. If the D were doubled or even with machine doubling, the "extra" part of the D would be raised above the field....
Separate names with a comma.
