The first is a 1984 penny that appears to be a clashed dye on both obverse and reverse............
On the obverse, the Lincoln Memorial is struck over the Lincoln bust, but is reversed ("ONE CENT" is backwards).
On the reverse, the Lincoln bust was stamped in reverse and then the monument was struck on top.............

The second is a 1995 penny with a slightly uneven finish on the obverse and only partial finish on the reverse.............

Any help in correcting my interpretations and terminology, as well as any estimation of value would be appreciated.............
Thanks to all.................
 

From the pics they look like classic squeeze jobs sorry. As for the second pic, I have no idea maybe toning better pics?
 

Also the correct term is "die".
 

Yep, the first and third coins were a result of man-made squeeze jobs and are not real Errors. The 2nd coin is probably man-made as well and the coin was subject to some type of acid to eat away the Copper plating to expose the Zinc Core.

"Squeeze jobs"?? Never heard of such a thing...........
I looked it up and from what the coins show, it makes sense..........
Thanks for the education.
Back to the search...............
 

Also the correct term is "die".

Haste, on my part, to get the rest of the descriptions accurate..........
Thanks for the correction.
