    1967: The "Liberty" seems crooked. I have no idea as to what this would be called.

    1969: When you turn the coin over, the back is not square with the front. It lists to the left. Don't know what this would be called.

    1977: Same as the '69, except it lists to the right. Very interesting!

    Cazkaboom One for all, all for me.

    #1 struck on something bending the copper

    #2&3 misaligned dies, nothing spectacular, and no premium to go along with them.

    Welcome to CT! There's nothing really special with the 67, the 60's were notorious for having funky strikes, the dies were not maintained as well as they are today. Which will explain some die deterioration. And as for the 69 and 77, those are what we call die rotation. While you have two samples, anything over 45 degrees for the reverse is significant and worth a little something. Some radical rotations exist, keep looking and you never know you might find a nice one. Good job and great eye.

    The B in liberty on the 1967 looks a bit offset. Welcome to cointalk.

    The "B" looks like it's taken a hit.
