I've always been a curious person, so I never minded doing the research. And it's a large part of the work that I do. But not everyone is as...
I see this effect after doing the 50/50 mix of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. Usually enhances the 'groove'. It could be MD as well...but...
I hear you. I'm presently working through the last few months of accumulated change. I work the tills by spending cash...forcing them to put out...
I believe what you are seeing there is some engraving done to the working hub. You will see this from time-to-time on earlier dates. As the hubs...
I'm still building out my year/mm rolls for the 2022s (and 2021 Ds). There is stuff to find out there, sifting through your change. Have a look...

Looks like a tilted die strike.
. Always flip the shiny ones! You never know. I once pulled out a 1950 D when doing the rough search (low mag readers) thinking it was...
I guess my best is MS66. Tag on it says $60 but I got it for less. Maybe $50? Too long ago and too many coins ago.
I'll take a look to see if I have one or two here to take photos of. I think my better coin is in the safety deposit box. But yours does look...
I feel @Kentucky is right. Delamination due to heat (high heat). Not an error coin like @paddyman98 which doesn't exhibit the witness marks of...
Separate names with a comma.
