Greenstang got a reaction from Hoghead515 in 1982 D Aluminum? Lincoln penny
If it was aluminum, you could tell by feeling the weight. An aluminum cent weighs about .9 g, a copper would be 3.11g.
Also there have been many high school experimental coins posted on here. It was quit common in the 50’s to coat them with mercury or nickel.

Greenstang got a reaction from ldhair in 1947 S Wheat Penny Lincoln impression on the Reverse
That is known as “ Progressive Indirect Die Transfer” aka ghosting.
It is a form of Die Deterioration.

Greenstang got a reaction from Cesar E in New to all this
Picture of coin is OK, background is not. It is the coin we are interested in seeing, not fingers.
Take a picture on a neutral background and crop to edge of coin.

Greenstang reacted to Stephaniec418 in State quarter on an experimental planchette
If I happen to have one of the 1999 state quarter that was struck on a golden planchette where on earth would I take it to get it certified I live near Tacoma Wa I will probably just keep it with the rest of my worthless coins, just asking in case it’s worth anything

Congratulations then, hope you do well at the auction.

Greenstang got a reaction from Beginner 76 in Wassup everyone? I don't know if this is a DDO dime, please share your opinion
It wouldn’t be Die Deterioration. Looks like Mechanical Doubling.

Greenstang got a reaction from Coinbuf in 1982 D small date copper / I Think I found One .
The same answer as your other post on the same coin, it is NOT a 1982 D.
What you see is just a contact mark. Your trying to create something that is not there.

Any one familiar with the London based auction house Roma Numismatics? They have been bad boys

Greenstang got a reaction from JT2 in 2021 Silver Eagle error reverse upside down
Is this not the same question you asked last year?
Yes, that is the way they are struck.

Greenstang got a reaction from EagleRJO in 1985-S penny tainted proof RPM or die chip

Greenstang got a reaction from EagleRJO in 1982 US Quarter error
Welcome to the Forum
You are correct in stating everything is PMD, there is nothing there that could happen when the coin was struck.
Also in the future, please start a new thread for your coins. It gets confusing when there are too many coins posted at once.

Greenstang got a reaction from JT2 in 1982 US Quarter error
Welcome to the Forum
Not an error, PMD. The lack of rims and flatness of Washington’s head indicates that it was ground or buffed down.
Still worth 25 cents though.

Greenstang got a reaction from JT2 in 1955 S Penny - What characteristics should a 1955 S penny with a Repunched Mint Mark look like, and would the coin I am displaying possibly have an RPM on the mintmark?
Not seeing a RPM, looks like a normal mint mark.

Greenstang got a reaction from Sandon in Silver 1945 penny.
First of all that would be nearly impossible. Also a 1943 steel planchet would only weigh 2.7g.

Greenstang got a reaction from Coinbuf in 1940 d penny
Just damage. The 0 has taken a hit flattening it and the chin is also just damage.

Greenstang got a reaction from Brian Dodd in Worth Grading Double Stamp 1960 D
That is Die Deterioration Doubling.
Notice how everything is going towards the rim and the flow lines.

Greenstang got a reaction from JT2 in 1964 Proof is this a accented hair
Hard to tell from that photo.
Too much reflection and shot at an angle.

Greenstang got a reaction from RonnieR131 in 1950 5 cent Canadian Die Clash
The coin you show would be from a coin struck shortly after the clash. I believe the OP's coin was struck after the die was polished and just shows remnants of the original clash. Guess the only way to tell for sure would be to do an overlay which I can' do.
Also I took that photo from my file. I have a file of a couple of hundred photos that I have created over the years for my own use. If there is another Canadian coin you would like to see, I may have a photo of it.
