On that last picture, picture yourself standing on a cliff and looking down.

It looks like MD on the numbers and the earlobe. The reverse might be a bit of a die chip or just damage. On the lip, a cold sore.  I mean die chip. Seriously, there is something going on west of the portrait but I can't tell what it is. This one might be too touch to call just from pics.

I have trouble getting decent photos --- so all I can suggest at this point is that if you think you have something, hang onto it until you can take it to an expert at a big show. The oddities appear different depending upon the glare/position of the coin and that makes me think that it isn't a mint error but rather minor Machine Doubling. Of course, I can't say for sure. There's no harm in holding onto it or -- if you're so inclined, taking more photos. It's frustrating. I know.

Most coin shows sell coins that will help a collector fill a series for a collection. That is their main focus. They also sell slabbed coins, rolls and some varieties. They sell proof/mint set coins cut out of sets. They usually have a junk bin of stuff not sold and they want to move out quickly. Most of the sellers are not real interested varieties, so I search their coins and buy them from them. But some dealers do search for varieties. So if they are selling a lot of varieties, it would be best to not buy rolls/tubes from them as they may already searched these. If they are just Looking for the one variety found (IE 1955 DDO) then I would buy rolls/tubes from them. But most dealers are liquidators. Some will buy coins and sell them the same day. Some may only deal with slabbed coins. So talking to a dealer and getting familiar with what he collects/sells/buys will help you to get the best deal from that seller. So do they know a lot about coins? Most know a little about the common things found in the Red Book, but most varieties they don't know about. If you find a seller selling what were are looking for, they probably have searched their stocks for variety coins. So looking at what they are selling will quickly tell you what type of seller they are. (same is true of coin stores and ebay sellers)
