Doubled die specimens (the product) are the result of a process error during the hubbing of the working die (that has the doubled...
The difference in patina lends to a removal of the outer devices. I vote PMD.
This ODV is challenging. Especially for the minor DDOs. Unless you can find the markers (if so noted), you may never really know if you found one.

“It coulda been a contender.”
It doesn’t look like it was struck through a capped die. Looks more like a damaged obverse to me.
Yes. Look up what MS65 and up are fetching on eBay and look at the known slabbed populations for each grade. As noted, values tend to jump at...
The O is incuse. It was pressed into the coin. Stacked cents crushed together. Damage. You’ll see this a lot during CRH events.
These are damaged circulated cents. The Shield Cent was caught between the rotating drum in a washer and the fixed section. As the laundry spins...

I saw this - lead bullet with two rings - Bing images and this - Civil War Bullet ID Chart – Antiques Detectors
Curiously, the double ring is an indicator of a Confederate bullet. Wonder if it is or how it got there.
That would be nice. A keepsake or two tucked away in a drawer someplace.
I was wondering if it could be lathe marks. But if the circle is incuse rather than raised, I’d vote damaged. I’ve found lathe marks on cents and...
That’s about right. When I went off to college and later as I started my career, I didn’t have time to collect seriously (or play golf). More...
