D. 2007 silver dollar. The reverse is upside down instead of being right side up like all 3 variations of the 2007 silver dollar shows it being

What you have to do is rotate the coin 180 degrees. That will enable you to view it right-side up. All U.S. coins are minted this way: if you flip them horizontally, the reverse is out of orientation from the reverse by 180 degrees and appears upside down. If you flip them vertically, the reverse is upright. This is different from medal orientation, where both sides have the same orientation and the top of one side is adjacent to the top of the other, etc., etc.

D. 1973 Washington Quarter. Has extra ponytail obverse and reverse has a deformed wing

Next time don't preheat the oven.

D. This Roosevelt dime looks like Roosevelt has a cowlick due to extra metal on the planchet.

Not likely that a cow did this. It is, however, a classic staple scratch. The staple slides along the coin, removing a thin strip of metal.

D. 2005 D dime Obverse side:Mint mark D with a small s or d,Writing were the Js is suppose to be, some mark on the top of the coin"IN GOD WE TRUST" has alot of of doubling, Reverse side: "E Pluribus Unum" there the initials JS and the B is doubled

Please, everyone out there, PLEASE STOP sending me these chewed up coin photos!

D. 1923-1945 mercury dime

Worth $2 each.

D. 2005 Oregon state quarter got this in my change after buying a pack of cigarettes. I took it to a local dealer who had a coin composite device. It came back as silver I'm sure it's no proof ect. It is the only known error and isn't official

Doubtful. Not sure what a "composite device" is, is that like a ouija board? It could be plated. Do you want to spend $50 to get it certified? I'd advise against it.

D. This was handed out to the police officers and their families for the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and I am one of the few to receive one of these before the anniversary. I know the brother of the man who designed it.

I find it hard, ethically, to put a price on such things. If I say it's worth a dollar it's insulting to those who served on that day. If I say it's worth $100 it's suggesting someone might exploit them. Having said that, I'd say it's closer to the former than to the latter.
