  1.                                   I found this interesting 1994 Lincoln in almost perfect condition. It has what I think is a die crack in his head. It starts at his collar and goes to the top of his head. Just would like the Pro's thoughts. I know it's difficult through pictures, but what do you think the grade may be on the coin.  Thanks

  2.                                     The coin does have the raised rim as a normal penny would have. I came across this in a roll of pennies, so I don't have the other piece that may go with it. I really can't see how someone can keep the rim intact, take the inside out, and still have a contour towards the inside. I don't see any cut makes at all on it. It is a very interesting piece to say the least. A few of years ago I did find a two-sided nickel, but I could see where the laser had cut the edge. I still have it of course.😊  Thanks for the video, very interesting. In the video I noticed when he cut out the face there are round marks left on the inside from the knife cut. On my coin, the lines are fine and only horizontal, not touching the rim. Is it still possible cut the insde out like this? 

  3.                  I came across this one in a roll from a bank. I believe it may be a slug but before I discard it, I wanted to run it by the experts. I did put a magnet on it and it is steel or zinc. I looked into how the process works in the mint and don't see how one side could be blank.

                       Love your thoughts on it. Thank you ahead of time.

  4.                           I can't tell what's going on with this one. At first glance I just thought damage on the date. Looking further, I think although there is damage, there is something else going on. Can anyone help me with a thought?  I put another 38 next to it to compare.  The line in the middle of the eight is going Northwest when in fact it should be East West. Any thoughts would be very helpful. Thank you in advanced.

  5.                   I'd like to know from the experts if I'm seeing a double in the mint mark or not. I do know that there is machine doubling going on under the mint mark but I also think I  see doubling in the D. Am I correct or just looking too deeply? Thank you in advance for all of you incites. I tried to enlarge the image in order to see what I think I see better.
