*** Was directed to post this in the errors forum***

So I got bored and bought (from the bank) 3 boxes of pennies. I wasn't doing anything more than looking for Wheaties to fill a few holes I have. found an average of 6-7 per box so I was happy, but I found a couple I had a question about.

(i didn't embed them cause they are huge photos)

Maybe a double die on the right of the 8 and 9. (I know its a bad pic but it was clear enough I saw it in the pile and picked it out)

And these I don't know if its a particularly "rare" error, but there seems to be a doubled edge on the right side of these two.

Also found a AU 1958-D and AU 1969-S

Thanks for any input on the "errors"

*EDIT*
Fixed the second two pictures.

1. is Machine Doubling.
2. I cant see pics but it sounds like a MAD (misaligned die) which are not worth anything unless part of the design is missing

The 89 is from a worn die known as die deteriation doubling( DDD). The other 2 with the raildoaded rims I believe are minor mis-aligned dies (MAD).

You might weigh the '82's, and see if they are copper, or zinc. Also check them for large, or small dates. There are 7 varieties on the '82, and 82-D. The copper will weigh 3.11 grams, while the zinc will weigh 2.5 grams.

i would hang on to the mis aligned dies and give them to a young coin collector. They are not worth much but still pretty neat.
