Need Help On 1999-D Proof?

I found this hunting rolls today and since I'm a newbie, I hope I can get some help.
First of all is this a proof?
Secondly, what would you grade it? I've tried to include closeups of any defects in it such as the glob on the date and the marks on the back. I uploaded photos with different lighting to hopefully help you see it better.
Thanks!

Is This A Die Crack On This 1943 S Steel Penny?

I have this 1943-S steel penny that appears (at least to me) to have a die crack on the reverse going from the S in PLURIBUS to the E in ONE.

I'd also be curious to know what you'd grade this at and it may be hard to see in my photos but it has iridescent toning on both side. Has it possibly been cleaned? I'm trying to determine a value.

Thanks for your help!

Funny story but I purchased a used bank today and when I got it home I found this 1972 D (I believe type 2) silver dollar in it. I could use some help grading it so please give me your thoughts and if I'm wrong on the type 2, I'd appreciate knowing that as well.

Thank you so much. I've seen this happen on other coins but not to this extent so this helps me a lot.

I hope someone can help me since I'm still new and trying to learn more about coin collecting.I know this isn't double die but you can see some very obvious doubling of some sort.

I took several pics of this 1992 D penny in both low and bright lights and I compared it to another 1992 D penny under the same lighting to show the difference. But there appears to be a type of "shadowing" around some of the letters on the reverse. You'll see it the most is the C and A in AMERICA which stands out the most.

Can anyone tell me if this is an error coin and if so, what would it be called?

I found this coin today and its been confirmed under a different topic that it is indeed the D/S. I'm new to coin collecting so I haven't tried to figure out what the grade would be. I don't want to even try to guess on this one.

I checked Wexlers and this is the closest I could find. This is the 1955-D 5¢ WOMM-002
Description: D/S

Do you think I have this one? And thank you again for all your help! Now I need to learn about grading coins...but that's another barrel of monkeys I get to open.

I found this 1955 D nickel and to me it looks like the D/S. I included a photo from one I found online showing an example.

Am I correct?

Is This A Die Crack On This 2003 D Penny?

I've been staring that this 2003 D penny for the last hour and trying to determine if this is indeed a die crack. I ended up using a flashlight to shine at an angle and as you can see in the two photos, anything that is raised on the coin has the light highlighted on the left side of the mark and the obvious scratch, it's on the right.

I guess I'm just asking for a 2nd set of eyes to confirm this for me...or tell me that I'm wrong.

Also, since I'm still new to this, is there much value in this or just something I can say that I found it?

Can Someone Verify If This 2004 P Is Both A DDR & DDO?

Thank you and I was wondering about the machine doubling but the number 2 is so far off.

Here are 4 closeup pics with both the lights turned down as well as turned up. I took them rightsize up and upside down since the light would cause any shadows to move and you can still see the doubling in the 2. But if its machine doubling then I can live with it,

I came across this 2004 P penny and unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, I'm seeing doubling on both the obverse and reverse. The 2 in 2004 is very clear and I have arrows going to the other ones I've spotted.

Do any other eyes want to help me check this out and if I'm right, what version would this be because I can't seem to find it on Wexler's.

I've attached photos of the ones I have.

Here's the coin after a gentle acetone bath. It cleaned up pretty well but as you can see, the mark is still there.

If this is indeed an error, is there still any value to it even though its in rough condition?
