That is such a wonderful example, regardless of variety. With the variety, that makes it quite an incredible and special piece! This is probably...
I am under the impression the quarter is post-mint damage, and the two dimes have curved clip errors. In-fact, the 1981-P looks to have two curved...
I am going to say MS64+ DMPL. Mostly because of what looks like a little PVC on the reverse beside the berries right of T in UNITED.
MS61?
I love seeing two halves of a split planchet together. It's so cool!

At first I thought it might be a partial collar strike that had been soaked in acid. But I now I think I agree with the others that the copper was...
I would say it is just cool toning, unless that tone was actually environmental damage. I agree with the others that it is a very, very...
I missed the GTG, but that's OK! Quite a cool coin with that die variety!
Separate names with a comma.
