The only one I would keep personally is the 1959, but that is because I save all cents from that date. If I recall properly, mintmarks were applied by hand at that point so the position of the D shifts around a little bit among different dies. I'm interested to hear if some of our real error experts would save any of these.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

The rotated MM is not an anomaly, nor are the MADs, normal machine processes or manufacture. If the MM is an RPM with split serifs, maybe. Mintmarks were placed by hand at the last stage of die making, human error..."**it happens", MAD is just a loose setting, nothing a little adjustment won't fix
Spence, why? I'd save if I was a nutty hoarder maybe, but I have OBW rolls of these, nice MS 60's pluses. The MAD no, only when any details are missed.

IMHO, all spenders. The "MAD" doesn't appear to have effected any of the devices. The 59 D, unless it's a RPM, which I cannot tell from the photos, is a spender. The rest of the "zincolns", spenders. Again this is just my humble opinion. I'm sure the experts will chime in soon with a more knowledgable and informative opinion  |

Agree, just spenders. Crooked MMs are everyday common. No premium.

I think the 73 D is the same error from carwash's post earlier today, and I'm going to hang on to the 87 die clash just because it's about BU in addition to the clash.

Surf-city, keep the one from 1973 D (It's caused by a Sunken Die error) and the one from 1987 (caused by having no planchets in between the die, causing a Die Clash). The rest would be spenders to me IMHO. Errers and Varietys.

 I think that in one way or another we are all a little bit nutty hoarders  I was born in '64 and just can't seem to put em' back into circulation when one ends up in my possession. Not to mention, you should keep what ever makes you happy in doing so. Edited by Tootallious

Yes they are Slamnbass, got at least 5 rolls of cents and nickels. Of course more hallves, quarters, and dimes being the last year of %90ers for the halves and the end of silver for quarters and dimes. All designated to my kids and grand kids. When they end up with them the'll probably say "Gee, thanks Pop's"  Edited by Tootallious

The 1959-D seems to be RPM-003 so probably verify that and if so keep it. The 1973-D is a common error but an error nonetheless and worth keeping unless you've got a better example sitting around. 1987 has no real premium but worth keeping as a nice clash on a nice coin.

I had to clean it up and take my loupe to it, but you were spot on with the RPM tropicalbats.

first thanks for sharing , but I think your only to post one coin at a time , next you need to go back and look over the 1987-d maybe get some closer pics of it looks like it might be a DDO liberty ,and your 1959-d yes hand punched mint mark's jump , but your liberty looks like its on a coaster ride  |

The 87-D does look somewhat like a DDO on the liberty but mint mark is in wrong position for DDO-001 so would have to be a new one |
