Did my first box of nickels today. I assume it's a good box. I found four war nickels and two 1939. I also acquired some proof sets from family and a 1980 set has major gold toning on all the coins with a blue ring around the edge. I couldn't photograph them properly so I'll have to keep trying.

The silvers are 43P, 43S, 45D, and 45S. It looks like there is a doubled eye on the 43P.

Also here is what I thought to be a misaligned dye. I don't know what to think. I don't know what going on with the dye.

Four war nicks are good for one box. The 43 is worn too much for me to tell conclusively.

The dime may very well be a misaligned "die", but there's no added value.

What I'm confused about are the stretch marks. Are they caused by the misalign dye?

Those marks are normal and on every uncirculated coin, just maybe to a lesser extent. They are the result of metal flow that happens when the coin is struck, which is what causes luster on coins that have not been worn.
