That last coin pictured was struck through a thin layer of grease.
Now I see what you are talking about. As Tommy and Markus pointed out, it's just damaged. Could have been from a coin wrapping machine or a well...
I don't see anything but a normal coin. What are you referring to?
I'm not so sure about this one. Something doesn't look right. There doesn't seem to be any rim present. It looks rounded off. Maybe Mike Diamond...
The first is not an off-center strike, but rather a misaligned die. This is evident from the fact that only the obverse is misaligned. The second...
That's odd, but obviously the USPS is linking directly to the site you originally posted. I wonder where the profits go?
And I was specifically talking about incidences where the USPS screws it up and I had never said that there couldn't be other causes. I'm not...

Not only in 1969, but throughout the 60s and into the early 70s there was a lot of clashing going on and it often showed up the heaviest in the...
That part of the roof which connects the two is such a shallow area in the die that it was common for polishing to remove them. And the 1969-D...
I always make sure that I act very petulant anytime someone calls a US cent a penny. As a matter of fact, I just took the telescope out into the...
You will Bonnie. We all started off with questions.

The mint mark is split plating. As far as the "O" goes, it's hard to tell from the photo. It could be a die gouge or, as already mentioned, a...
Nice find. You don't see those often in pocket change.
I'm seeing a solid 65RB(not that the TPGs would give that to a woodie). I'd probably even go 66 on it. That's a nice looking find. There are some...
Separate names with a comma.
