Your third, fifth and sixth images are examples of die deterioration doubling. The fifth image shows another indication of die deterioration...
I think the first image is machine doubling. If it was die deterioration doubling, the deterioration would be going the other way -- towards the...
It's a large date. Keep looking.
If they fit into your collection, you should keep them. Some collectors/hoarders keep all copper cents. You have to decide for yourself what to...

Is very difficult to see in this pic, but it could be any of the situations you mentioned. Can you see any die polishing lines? Would this area...
What is this cleaning pencil you speak of? Got any pics?
I think it's a goiter. It's a nice one, too.
The value of your coin depends on its condition. You should start your own thread and post clear images of the obverse and reverse in the What's...
