The first one is struck thru grease. The second one is just die deterioration. IMHO
Yeah, it looks like it might match. Die crack isn't exactly the same though. Might be a different die stage?
It does not have any errors. It appears plated to me. Which would have happened after it left the mint.
Isn't it supposed to be a wide AM before 1992 or something?

Those are some great finds. Any idea on the buffalo nickels date?
The iphone 13 is known for being one of the best phone cameras ever. So it doesn't make sense that it is "dog s**t"... And the second picture...
I don't think it matters. It is unlikely acetone will get the green verdigris off. Try this thread to see if it helps....
Why did you necropost this thread it has literally been a year. And I think it could still be the DDO-005 variety. If you want to know for 100%...
Just clean them, put them back in the dirt, and then sell them. Easy. BTW those are some really cool digs, wish I could go metal detecting as...

It could have definitely lost that much weight IMO. Looks super ground down, and the edges are rounded.
Doubled dies are not struck twice, and neither is MD. Doubled die coins are often confused with double-struck coins which look completely...
Interesting, but it's just damage. I don't see anything else.
Looks like a Doubled die to me. But next time just crop it so the coin is easier to see. I had to zoom way in on my pc to see it.
You need to post pictures for the best responses, but a star note usually isn't worth much of a premium if anything unless it is uncirculated.
If you ever want to check if you have some kind of variety, let it be doubled dies or rpm's, check variety vista and see if there is a match....
It has to be a small date 1982 - D copper penny to be of any value, but only 2 have been found I believe. It is a small date, but its not worth...
Separate names with a comma.
