That's what I was thinking...:D

Die breaks are errors, not varieties. I am not aware of a source that catalogues specifically die breaks etc.
It may command a small premium, but I personally don't consider these collectable until they are rotated 90° or more. Keep up the hunt!
You need to be more specific in the future, but I think you are referring to the bubbles. Those are zinc bubbles in the plating. They are common...
If you compare this mintmark to a normal D mintmark on a 1964-D quarter, you will find that this one appears smaller. I looked in the CPG and...
I am not an expert either, I was just noting what I saw. FWIW, I hope that I am wrong and that indeed it is an RPM.
Seeing as how the mintmark appears to be smaller than it should, I would be inclined to say MD ir a coincidental hit. Keep up the hunt!
There are varying strengths of both master die doubling and engraving doubling present on 1960 cents. I feel that this is one of them, though I am...
If it is a late die state, I would bet that it is a case of die deterioration. However, I am not a nickel expert. Keep up the hunt!
This is a well-known die break for the date, which is often confused with a lamination. Keep up the hunt!
I agree...lamination error. Keep up the hunt!
Tough to tell with the high glare right over the mintmark...
If it were an RPM (which I don't think it is), I would expect it to show in more than just that one area. I would at least expect to see the...
It does not look like a die break IMO. I have seen many other coins with split-plate doubling in pretty much the exact same area. You can see a...
This appears to be a case of split-plate doubling...very common and often mistaken for an RPM. The copper plating split open around the mintmark...
I'm no expert on non-US coins, but perhaps the edge got worn down slightly. Or maybe there was some grease in the die collar that prevented the...
It may look different because that is just the way the design was made...with one 9 smaller than another. I'm not an IHC expert though, so I don't...
Just to correct the terminology... this is not a "clogged die strike" or a "filled die" error. Those two terms would indicate something present in...
Extra strips of metal cannot be "struck on" a coin, they can't fuse with it (besides other coins, as far as I know). Plus, if there was a piece of...
Separate names with a comma.
