Crystal ball. Ha ha. Nice coins.
Yep. Die chip. With Roosevelt Dimes the entire face area was a common source of die chips.
You're happy with them because you're sending them to me and you just love charity?
It's good to be back Green, and thanks!
Die varieties are created on the die. That die strikes all the subsequent coins. Varieties absolutely *have* to match up exactly because they...
The faintest outline of old George on the reverse.
It's physics; for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Rinse and repeat for 100s of thousands of strikes and you get this.
Not an error at all; it's just damage.

Yep. Struck through error. Sometimes the unique or extreme ones can bring a premium. There was a Kansas state quarter that had a filled T and...
Just to be clear, I don't think that primary demarcation on the C is doubling either, but I do believe that I see evidence at the top of the C of...
Looking at that photo, I agree. I don't know. It almost looks like a combination of the doubling(which looks like class II) and some MD that's...
Definitely some doubling going on. I'm more inclined to think the C just took a very light hit.
This is simply plating disturbances and plating striations.
Classic MD.
I'm not seeing anything, but none of the known 1972-D doubled dies would be discernible from your photos.
That's correct, and I think part of what we see on steel cents is corrosion of the zinc, but also the layer was so thin that it easily wore off,...
Sorry Rick, I should have phrased that better and elaborated. The plating was not only very thin, but also did not cover the edges. Because of...
Separate names with a comma.
