1991--what is the striking over it? And what about the mint mark D with a dot init, error?  1967--dime looks like something was stuck to it what do you think?   |

Post-mint damage ( PMD), deliberate or otherwise. Damage to the dime could have been from a coin-rolling machine. |

HI, I cant tell what the dot in the D mm for the cent is, it might be a die crack/pit, or it may be a PSD, we will need clearer more close up images of that. For your dime, this is either a Struck Through Grease, worn die, or perhaps just circulation wear. it looks like rosie has been in a few coin machines, that is how that ring appears around his head. |

This is the best I can do. I can try later for better when I get home.   |

I see what looks like as fingerprints on the obverse on the cent. They change the colors of the plating and even affect the copper on pre 1982 cents was well.  I was told on this coin that there was a piece of wire on it when they found it in a bag. When they touched the wire, it fell off. I didn't give much credence to that, but after check back on the coin years later, there was his fingerprint. |

Thanks for the information, do you know if the date is considered small date at all the 9s look bigger to me?

The date is normal, but has a raised area that makes it look connected. The images are so small I can't exactly see what is going on. There maybe a split in the plating at the bottom of that 9 and zinc rot maybe starting? Or just a gas bubble under the plating. I see nothing there that would bring a premium. If it were mine, I'd spend it.

I have the exact same dime with the exact markings and I also have heard about this coin way back in the day there was a story about it getting caught up in the machine somehow that stamps them?

The circular scrape is caused by a counting/rolling machine, it is just damage.
