I think you just have some very deteriorated dies causing the orange peel effect. I see some radial flow lines, I think, on the back side of FDR's head and also think the hair shows a very weak mushy tired strike. https://www.error-ref.com/?s=orange+peel+ |

Orange peel effect. That describes it well but wouldn't call them deteriorating dies either. Some strikes are very defined.   Bad planchets maybe? Almost shows signs of delamination. Few sample pics of the lot of them. Have found around $2.00 worth. They are definitely different. Im a Morgan guy personally. Picked up a couple boxes of dimes just to see what I could see. Wasn't expecting to be sorting through nice, shiny and never been touched coins. |

These dimes coming out of Loomis rolled boxes. Most definitely mint state coins. Loomis is a third party coin handler/roller. Who knows what has happened to these coins between the time they were minted and eventually bagged then rolled outside the mint. The coin you showed us is not "mint state", sorry.  |

Merclover, guess there's guys like you in every chat room. I know what mint state is thank you very much. I asked a question its ok to not open your pie hole if you don't know the answer. Don't be disrespectful to me and I won't be to you.

RJS77, first welcome here.
Then please be less aggressive in yours answers. You come here, put a topic and someone will give you theirs' opinions, which could be 100% what you expect or could be 100% at the other poll.
Let go back to the basic of your topic. I agrees the small bubbles or shrinks (how you say) of your coins they are not strike errors. In the coins with Metal Composition: 91.67% Copper - 8.33% Nickel the planchet laminations default takes complete others forms, so excluded.
Me personally I see probably some alkaline residues remains on the copper after dry, before plating, This residues in time form bubbles, or a such shrinking of the nickel surface. I recognize that not often we see, almost for that year when the technology improves more. Like collector and in my circle, we do not consider your coins strike or pre-strike error. We say post strike error.
Me I see others things with your coins, but if we do not see pics at 40x and then close up at 300x or 400x is hard to pronounce.
If you do not believe try a TPC.

I'm thinking Die Deterioration. Would like to see the coin in-hand. Not that it matters much, but the first three photos posted appear to be showing two different coins. |

VLDS = Very Late Die State. The die that struck your coin was an very senior die. It would be one to keep to show to a new collector as a "Show and Tell" item. While this is not a premium coin, this is what it is though. But this die could be polished and remove some of the die flow lines on the fields and still be continued to be used. No die cracks/breaks/chips. So it was probably salvaged to continue to be used.  |

to the CCF! It could be VLDS and a bit of oily debris on the surface of the dies. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Agree VLDS. Not an auspicious start, @RJS77.

I appreciate everyone's input. I can get on board with Die Deterioration. Just think of chips and breaks when I think Die Deterioration. The way the light reflects off of them hard to get good pics. Can see feeder scratches on the reverse of some of these.   Obverse/reverse of same coin here. Thanks again. Just want to make sure I'm not kicking back anything I should be holding onto. |
