The D reverse on the top has the flat part of the edge cut into as if off center and should be on the inside of the edge. I thought it was the way I had the coin placed when photographing, but looked with a loupe and it's actually like that. Forgive me, I forgot what this is called.

I see the same mark just to the right of the ear on both of these obverses, but the D has another one to the right of that, that the S does not have. I do not see these on the @jwitten first photo of the O privy and that coin looks very nice.
The top of the rim on the D is also interesting. I get my 3 D's in several hours and will know what to look for. Photos to follow if anything unusual shows up on them.
Picked up my 10 CC and 10 O at the P.O. Box today. Counter clerk did ask to see my drivers license and, after handing it back to me, asked me my date of birth. So yeah, you gotta be 21 and prove it, even though I am old and decrepit enough that I get Senior Discounts at restaurants without asking for them.
Curiously, one box is almost twice as large as the other. 10 coins in each. Different packers, I guess.

Some time back the eBay purchase of mine requiring a signature was not delivered because only my son was at home (and will be turning twenty soon) and left a note asking me to pick it up since it cannot be delivered to anyone under 21.
Hurt my son's ego coz he can vote, get a motorcycle licence or join the army etc. but can't have a drink nor accept a package
So what causes these rim issues on both sides? Will DDO's be next? Are the blanks slightly different sizes, or out of round? Is the press in need of maintenance? Pressure not adjusted correctly? Serious questions, as I am not familiar with this result.
@FredWeinberg Are these rim results considered mint errors?

All my orders are now "Processing" !!!
Ugghhh. Still "Processing".
Is this happening to others? or am I the only one not getting "Shipping"?
Still nothing - just "Processing" the D, S, P, and Peace (3 each).
Didn't get my foot in the door on CC and O privy.
Many of you are getting yours shipped or they are even arriving to your address. I wish I knew how some are moving to Shipping while others stay in Processing. Need to teach myself how to be patient! LOL.

This 21-year-old policy is from the Mint or the USPS/UPS?
My son lives in college dorm. All the packages are signed by a staff in the building mailroom.
Does this policy apply to the staff? And, if my son who is under 21 goes to get the package, does this policy apply to him, since the package already signed by the staff?

Well if poor quality control of die alignment is rewarded with 70's as struck, when does it ever get recognized as an error? Either way, I would prefer correct alignment on the 70's I get graded, just like I prefer correct alignment on my car's tie rods.

Upon delivery, an adult who is 21 years of age or older must provide a driver's license, passport, or other government-issued photo identification that lists age or date of birth and provide a signature for receipt of the mailpiece.

Overall the 3 D-mintmarks I received looked nice in general with a cartwheel effect in light in spite of the burnished concept, these do not look dull at all. I think two coins are worth sending in. None of them had the rim die alignment issues, so those could be worth keeping as unusual or more scarce examples?
Here are a couple extreme magnification photos of one with a couple small hits. Still in the capsule, so not the best photos, but something does hit these along the process. Hard to even notice without the magnification and tilting into the light to catch the glint.

Yes, thanks, the divots could be strike-through as you say, but they do catch the light so the finish has been impacted and my guess is the graders going through thousands of these will say 69 and move on to the next one..
Picked it up today 21st-25th that’s quick. CC is here Dang it. It’s on the coin. Ofcourse. It’s not the worst. Coin w/ capsule was loose in the package. I haven’t checked the rest stopped there to weep 😢
So I need some feedback from someone that has successfully reached the mint by phone in the last few days. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I was on hold for 3 hours on Friday and finally I had to hang up because I had a Dr. appointment. I was also on hold later on Friday for an hour when I finally just gave up. I was busy on Saturday and could not call. I called 42 times on Sunday and never could get through. I have tried a few times again today but I was at work so I was limited on how frequently I could call. I am currently on hold, but the call just dropped again.
Can someone tell me how long they have had to hold.

I'll laugh if the O Morgans are the lowest quality as a group...JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS!!!

O obverse has some rim issues as well.
But Philly too does not have that much of an exemplary track record lately and the privy coins were minted there. So torn as to whom to blame.

The "rim" is not considered when the coin is graded.
I did not pay attention to the mint signature requirement.
The mint only asks for adult signature for expensive orders, right?
that's not entirely true. significant enough rim dings will detail grade a coin, and filed rims will detail grade a coin.
I'd think rim contact marks would factor into a Unc. grade
Horizontal instead of Vertical. Easier to view - different shots than before.
