Any of these of interest? 3 Wheaties and an LMC.

Are all of these PMDs?
First off a 1916 S, is this a lamination?

Next is a 57 with a strange looking Liberty, PMD, MD?

A '58 with a crater near the date.

Finally, an '84 with something going on.

Thanks for looking, opinions appreciated.

The 1916S does look like a lamination.
The 1957 is a die break commonly known as a BIE
The 1958 also looks like a lamination that has peeled away. It is also possible that this is a struck through, but I am still leaning toward a lamination error.
The 1984 has trapped gas bubbles under the copper plating

None of these have a significant premium, but are collected by some folks.

My opinion would be:

1916S-lamination peel

1957- BIE- die chip/break

1958-struck through something, scrap piece?, possibly lamination peel

1984- plating problem-copper separating from the zinc-gas bubbles???

Couldn't have been by more than a second or so Steven. Hadn't seen you on in a bit. Good to see you here.

Well at least my answers run along the same line as yours. Guess I'm learning a little bit. I'm ussually here but mostly watching of late.

I agree with both of them. That BIE error sells pretty good on eBay all the time. The 58 looks more like a strike thru to me. All really nice coins!!!
