I think what Tommy is referring to is a tilted split-serif RPM where one punch was rotated in relation to the second punch which usually shows as...
It's probably just a die chip, but could you take a photo of an individual coin clearly showing the area in question?
I'm not seeing a die clash, but there is a lot of glare on the photos that might be masking it. Here's what a typical Roosevelt dime clash looks...
Those lines you are seeing are die scratches that are probably from a polishing brush.
You have to remember that most grading is done with the naked eye and possibly a 5x loupe. They don't examine coins microscopically since grading...
Take a look at the link Jay posted. If they don't have an example of this one already, then you should them the photos. I'm sure they'd like to...
To the west of the 2nd column might merit a further look, but it could also be plating issues. You could always send it in to John Wexler at...
No, it will not detract at all during the grading process.
Machine doubling is very common, and except for the most extreme cases it doesn't command a premium. Grading companies do not attribute it.

That's a very nice cud, which is a die break from the rim inwards.
It's a worn die. Basically the center of the "D" broke off of the die. You have to remember that every raised detail on a coin is incuse on the...
What you are seeing is basically metal flow from a worn die, i.e., basically die deterioration doubling (which is exaggerated by the LED light on...
What one person thinks their coin is worth and what another is willing to pay for it is none of my business. Fraud is a different matter, but...
My guess is MD because you can also see it on "STATES". If there is any way you could get a better close-up of the MM that would be great.
Photo?
It's apparently not only struck on a nickel planchet, but also struck through a die cap. Two very improbable errors in one.
I would think this would have to have been done intentionally by a mint worker. It should certainly command a premium.
Keep it to one post and give people time to reply.
Nevermind. I just remembered that ODV-035 was only used in 1990, so they could have determined it from that.
Separate names with a comma.
