Going cross eyed, need your expertise please!

Gone through about 1,000 pennies and my eyes are playing tricks on me, just need a second set of eyes on this handful I probably imagined have issues....going to put some eye drops in..../sigh

My suggestion? Stop searching anything smaller than a quarter! That's what I did and my headaches stopped.

If you go back and edit your post and "load as full image", we can see the coins better and try to help you out.

 

From my fast fingers trying to keep your image en-larged
The bottom two
Left lamination
The right 36 improperly mixed alloy.

 

Agreed with this gentleman. Might be a slight die chip on the first row 1936 on the #6. Otherwise, I don't see anything else that sticks out.

 

- 1955-D in 2nd row looks like RPD
- the '36, 2 coins below that '55-D MAY be doubled

Keep in mind, I am a novice.

 

I know these are not good coins I am just trying to understand the different problems with coins and natural/unnatural wear and tear on the coins, so please fire away! Thank you for the replies so far!

 

These all seem to be general wear and tear for 60-80 year old coins.

 

Got a lamination, woodies and one 1936 w/fat date may be DDO.

 

This may add some value to your 36 search:

Doesn't apply to me, I have no problems collecting even half dimes. In fact, they might be my favorite Seated denomination.

Also, I'm getting a quarter eagle soon...

 

Thank you!

 

The left 36 seems to have some woody action going on. This is caused by an improperly mixed alloy. May be worth a premium to some collectors, others aren't fans.

The right 36 has lamination on the obverse.

(Bottom row BTW)

 

Give it another 56 years!

I've found that if you look at your coins cross-eyed, you'll see lots more errors.

 

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
