Nice, I am working on an Eisenhower set as well, a question though, why do you have a 1973 in the 1974 opening?
No, I don't think you are seeing things, but I do think everything is a result of the damage. Metal pushed around by dings, dents and cuts look...
Since when is helping someone by answering their question a waste of time? That is what this forum is for, not for insulting someone for asking.
Unfortunately it is just beat up, who knows exactly what happened to it but it has had a rough life!
It looks like it may have been filed from different directions which would push the metal all the way around.
Definitely altered after it left the mint.
OK, are you trying to say you think they switched coins on you? Some of the photos aren't very good, but all seem to be the same coin. I think I...
I am not sure what you are asking, but it looks like you have a replica of a 1776 New Hampshire copper. Do you have any specific questions?
The majority of metal detected coins in the eastern US seem to be from the Mexico city mint. In fact I just spent some time looking for them on a...

I may be wrong, but it looks to me like it may have just been smashed with a couple of other coins. The other "strikes" look incuse like from...

No real way to answer this for someone else, it is an individual preference thing. You need to collect what you like. Do you like silver? or...
Sorry, just a regular Philadelphia minted dime.
Reporting to ebay seems to have been quite effective lately, especially when something is posted on here and many of us report it, the more the...
Just ten cents, normal 1974 dime.
I think I may have one of those someplace, I'll have to look. I never did figure out what it is.
I'd say about F15, but looks like it has some scuffs on the obverse from a cleaning or rubbing.
Those are pretty nasty scratches, definitely would severely impact the value. Not really whizzed or steel wool, looks like somebody scraped at it...
Somebody had a number 5 stamp and too much time on their hands!
