Eh, guess I'll enter. My name is Simon. I'm from San Francisco, CA (anyone else from the Bay Area? Send me a PM!). I started off collecting error...
You're going to have to be more specific about what you see. I see a normal coin that has some wear. Keep up the hunt!
When a coin has a clipped planchet, the side opposite the clip would show weakness. For instance, if the clip was at 12, the Blakesley effect...

Looks damaged. Not seeing the Blakesley effect that would usually be present on a clipped planchet. Spend it. Keep up the hunt!
I don't come by ejection doubling as often. This tutorial is about the 4 main types of doubling that I most often encounter in searches, and what...
If someone put this coin to a grinder in an attempt to replicate a struck-through grease cent on a zincoln, they would strip the coin of its...
Pictures aren't great but judging from what you are describing it sounds like a vice job (damage). Keep up the hunt!

What, do you mean looking for a certain date on a coin? That's all I can think of...:devil:

It took you long enough to realize we're all mad, here! ;)
If you mean the obverse (or what used to be the obverse), that is just the appearance that a die cap causes. I don't see where anyone tried to...
Struck through late stage de cap. That is a really nice one, probably in the $20-25 range. It isn't extraordinarily rare, but it is an error...
Reverse definitely shows a cleaning IMO. I would expect as much for the obverse, though I can't see it as well.
It's nothing that occurred at the mint. Keep up the hunt!
Too bad it isn't silver. Still, I guess it's good to see older coins still circulating, even though they are relatively common...
