Re: 1969 S , 1969 D , 1955 D American Pennies

Need clearer photos for sure. I don't think that any are DDO or DDR. Check out this article by one of the recognized experts, as well as the links at the bottom of the article. They are all neat coins and oddities, but very little to put in your wallet. https://doubleddie.com/144801.html What you ha...

Without a closer look, they look like machine/mechanical doubling or die deterioration doubling. It is a curiosity and an error collector may be interested, but who knows.

Re: 1933 BU UNC what is the grade???

We need to look at the whole coin, not through plastic. I see some small dings on the rim. It won't be a 65.
Sorry you must have posted the whole-coin pics while I was typing. I don't think that it will even get to R-B.

Re: 2022 die chip error + ?die crack

Everything that you've shown adds no value and there may be millions of them out there. Just like nails and booby pins and thumbtacks, the manufacturor is set up to produce as many as possible, not make them look as nice as possible. If you look closely at ANY coin produced here in the last 20 years...

Re: Canadian 10 cent 1940 die damage or wear and tear ?

There is no added value for that coin. If it was in a grade VF+ or above, maybe just a little bit more.

Unless I'm WAY off base, the loon is on the Reverse, with the monarch on the Obverse.

Maybe a filled die with grease or crud.

Re: 1$ 1987 Multiple errors

There were 205 million of the first loonies minted. I see nothing except 5 Reverses.

Re: 1927 Canadian Confederation Coin. Flaw or Damage

I think someone tried to drill hole(s) to hang it from a chain and they couldn't get through to the other side. PMD

It looks to me like parking meter or coin counter damage.

Re: 1890 H "Flying I" Variety, Looks Different From Listing, Do I Have It

If you can pick up a copy of Rob Turner's "Dies and Diadems", published a few years ago, you will find some extensive pages on the 1890 strikes. I can see photos of all the coins covered in this thread. Very early on the "I" in Dei was damaged, so dies were repunched (hand-punched) so there are a pr...

Re: MS 1916 cleaned or toned?

Same. I see minute wear as described from shoulder ornament to mustache. Not enough of a larger pic to see about eyebrows and crown.

Can't access the file. Who's going to wait for an approval before you can see anything. Just send a photo.
