I think we've all done that at some point. :)
MD can be multi-directional.
MD. Very common on cents from that time.
I'm not seeing anything.
I see no problem with a 65RB.
There are many class 5 doubled dies for this date that would be too subtle to pick up from your pics, but I'm not seeing anything. I'm not sure...
Sorry Tom, but it's classic MD. Other than the typical diagnostics, another good clue is the mint mark on pre-1990 cents. These were punched...

The fingers of rolling machines are notorious for leaving this sort of damage. They often do it when the coin is uncirculated, and it takes very...

Give it a dip in acetone, and I bet it comes right off.
Looks like nail polish.
Antosajr- Do you have a photo of yours. Examples of coins that have been stripped of the plating are all over the place. We can usually easily...
That's a nice example Robec. This is a great photo that shows people the mint luster which will be present on a true unplated zinc planchet.
