I'd like to think that I may have had a small role in your decision to run this contest for YN's, but......................
@Kevin Torpey It would be best if you took the photos from directly overhead. There are so many things that could have affected a coin while in...
No offense, Steve, but you should get out of the habit of taking super close-ups to show an error. If it is any kind of worthwhile error, then we...
Doctor: So, you broke your right arm. Patient: Yeah, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm right-handed. Doctor: That's okay! I take credit cards.
The Examination Room Patient: That sure is an odd looking stethoscope! Doctor: Oops! Sorry! I thought I was on the beach.

ZipLoc bags are not air tight. There are all sorts of airborne contaminants that can make their way into the bags that desiccants have no effect on.
For machine doubling, the step and riser should be at 90 degree angles to one another. The face of the die cuts into the device. It can't possibly...
That was my first thought, too! "Drop it or I'll shoot!"
I think he means Misaligned Dies, but it looks to me like it is just an artifact of the "lasso" you used to eliminate the background.
Bradley, I'm a bit leery of the flips you've used in the last image. They look like the kind that contain PVC.
Without photos, I'm guessing that these oddities are nothing more than partially grease-filled die errors. You can keep them if you want, but I...
And, here's a toner from my birth year! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
