The mint mark is not misplaced, they were hand punched into the striking die until about 1990
and can have slight variations on there positioning. As they are worth 25 cents each, it would
not be worth spending about $100.00 to have them graded.

Re: 1978 1 Cent Reverse struck through Grease on 100% of flan.
Can’t tell by photos supplied. They are too dark and pixilated.
From what I can see though, it appears like some sort of damage.

Re: 1978 1 Cent Reverse struck through Grease on 100% of flan.
Not a 100% Struck Through Grease. If it was the devices would not be showing.
This is an example of a 100% greaser on both sides.

Re: 2007 5 Cent Die rotation
With coins that would be a 90 degree rotation.
Nice find.

Re: 1980 D Lincoln Cent filled die
That is a grease filled die, not uncommon, yours is fairly prominent but I have seen some
where over 75% of the relief is filled. Yours should still be worth a premium to someone
who collects these.

Re: 2001 Specimen dime error
Showing the other side confirms that it is a misaligned die (MAD) which only shows on one side.
If it was a off centre strike, it would show the same on both sides.

Re: 2001 Specimen dime error
Welcome to the forum
Hard to tell if it is a slight off centre strike or a misaligned die when you only show one side
(Always show both sides when posting) but in either case unless it runs off the edge, it would
still be within spec and not considered an error.

Re: Britain
Just guessing Bill with no information supplied.
I know there is a 8/7 on the half penny and penny.
In any case, it is not a cent.

Re: Britain
I take it that is a copper cent (always include year and denomination in your heading).
It looks like a 8/7 to me. PLease avoid screenshots, they are too pixilated to see fine detail.

Re: 1942 die break from right leaf
It’s actually a Die Crack not a Die Break.
As Bill stated, no added value for a small crack, they are just too common,
especially during the war years when dies were pushed to the limit to preserve steel.

Either a worn die or a worn coin. All the numbers look slightly thicker.

Re: 5 cents 2009
As you say, it is just damage from being “squished”. Hard to say exactly how it happened
unless you were there at the time. Doesn’t really matter though, damage is damage.
Still worth 5 cents though.
