Clawcoins - that is an excellent and well-written compare/contrast study with the car & frying pan. Easy to...
Another Numismatic Pareidolia explanation. However, what you see on the reverse of the cent has nothing to do with a punched planchet strip piece...
Grease is what CAUSES the absence of design, in this case
That's the most common area on the reverse of a Lincoln cent to show weakness - it's directly opposite of the deep part of the die where his...
The 1991-D cent has rim damage, and the weakness on the top of the reverse is due to the Bust of Lincoln being opposite it - not struck thru...

Based on the edge photos, I believe that coin has had the edge lettering removed.
Nice die chip in the '8' (top and bottom of it, it looks like) The lines look like light scratches or HH (heavy hairlines) First of that date...

Nice photo showing the 'cut and tear' marks inside the clip
That value is for insurance purposes only. If you put "$100" down for a value, does the TPG have the time to go thru every submission form to...
