@chuckylucky5 This is certainly a different way to collect, but interesting and kudos to you.
I like those with a spider web type of crack. These coins were close to seeing a shattered die. Very nice Paddy.
They appear nice enough to have possibly been pulled from an album or folder recently. Maybe someone dispersing a collection.
The doubling appears very flat and I see no signs of notching so I'm with die deterioration doubling but with a die chip at the chin on the...

Quite the achievment & congrats!
Wait! What? Maybe Doug has something to do with this. Maybe they are buried in his back yard. JK of course.:woot:;):D
It all appears to be on the surface and raised. Some type of splatter, possibly copper.
Separate names with a comma.
