I was going through some wheats that I bought and noticed the date on this. Is this where there was grease in the die or something? Is it common?

Thanks

This is another coins I came across. Can you tell how it looks flat on one side. Did this happen at the mint or was this after the mint damage?

The first coin is from a broken die on the date and the other looks like a misaligned die. But please check out what I'm saying.

Probably dropped or tossed onto a sidewalk. I bet the finger print on it would probably give you the answer who through it?

first coin; die chip

This is just my opinion, I am still learning.

Oh yeah, I didn't see that flat edge on the rim of the obverse, obvious damage.
