The gremlins in my house raid my duplicate box with ferocity. It's a good thing though. I use it as an excuse to teach geography. |

OK, corrections...
The "haul" was more like 7 silver nickels, one silver dime, and 7 wheats. The quarters and 4 dimes were '65.
I've been working on the pics all day, they're uploading now, I'm a bit of a perfectionist so I'm working on the pic post.

 WE GOT PICS!
 
1972 clipped dime. (It's not a "D" like I thought it was.) The lighting is pretty harsh making the missing bits look angular, but they are actually round. To the left you can see a depression.
 
I was playing with the backgrounds, I like the orange better, it blends nicely with the penny.
 
Wheaties! Far left = 1944S. Top left to right = 1957D, 1944, 1950D. Bottom left to right = 1958D, 1956D, 1956D.
This seems odd to me, the obverse look worn, while the reverse are in much better condition. It's a bit difficult to see due to the pic resolution, but the lines in the wheat are very defined.
 
Silver Nickles! Far left = 1960D. Top left to right = 1964D, 1954, 1964D. Bottom left to right = 1964D, 1964, 1964D.
The mint marks are hard to see because I hurried through these, at this point I was playing with the equipment for nearly four hours trying to get everything "just right." I also didn't account for the date! oops.
 
1984D. Is this an error or not? The ridge on the obverse is very faint on the right and bottom, but not visible at all on the upper left. On the reverse, the ridge is there and very strong. I think it qualifies, so into the collection it goes!
 
1996D, I like this one! The "6" in the date, the top halves of the "LI" in Liberty, "IN" "WE" and bottom halves of the "TR" in trust, and the tops of the "JS" are all barely visible. It's too inconsistant to be wear marks. They look like smudges. Now that's only the obverse! The reverse upper halves of "UNITED STATES OF" it's not strong at all and the "D STA" and "OF" is probably the lowest.
Maybe it's an alien message and we should all put on our tinfoil hats! aaaaargh! |
