1 - Guessing some sort of Die Deterioration on the 5.

2 - Not sure. Faded as all get out and mostly smooth like a baby's butt.

3 - Someone's science experiment. Chemical alteration? Probably watched that youtube video on how to make gold pennies. :)

4 - Posted this on the error forum, thought it might be double struck. Turns out it's just another science experiment - this time with a vise or hammer instead of chemicals.

Four more boxes to go through at some point this week, I'll try and post some other extreme examples I come across later in the week.

#1 is a die chip (pretty common). #2 is a pretty exceptional example of struck-through-grease.

#1 looks like Die Deterioration. #2 looks like a Grease Filled Die or a die trial piece (the rim appears rounded) #3 looks like normal toning. #4 looks like a vise job. #2 does have a premium if it's a Greaser it's $1 +/- if it's a die trial around $3.
