Not a planchet, in my opinion. Maybe a piece of a necklace/jewelry that got tossed into the jar since it was round.
Happy Birthday!! I think that a bunch of us have a touch of the Peter Pan complex. Stay young and wishing you a great year ahead!!
Yes. It’s a fine greaser! Cool find.
I’ll offer that when restarting a press, it’s not uncommon that a fixed count will be made and, aside from the last few, scrapped. The last few...
It has mostly stayed on track. Some folks will make a mistake but they eventually find the other dedicated threads (coinstar, coin roll hunting)....

I’m at 64+ myself. I think great appeal though and would snag that myself. I appreciate @Lehigh96 input regarding the strike details. Good to...

Could be finning rolled over into the field/outer devices.
As others note, aging die/wear and movement. I’ll add that there appears to be evidence of a tool man trying a hand with an engraving tool to...
You are looking in the right area for a majority of the DDRs created by the single-squeeze method (center bullseye). I believe the majority of...
That’s a cool one!
Your photos are really pretty good. It’s just that some issues are harder to photograph/determine than others.
