What's going on with these "error" coins

COINS MAKE CENTS

So these were in a collection I just bought. They were marked as errors but..... I know a few definatly are not errors but just want someone to say it also so I can throw in the bulk bin... a few I dont know for sure about

The first I'm not sure about a South Carolina quarter... is it missing its clad layer? Or is it just dirty and nasty? Weight is 5.5 grams.

The next I'm pretty sure is PMD a 1927 buffalo nickel with a broadstrike looking issue.....weight is 5 grams.

The next I'm pretty sure is a PMD coin a kentucky state quarter that looks weird.... make from a rock tumbler or something? Weight is 5.6 grams

Next are 1946 red wheat cents. They are a little smaller in diameter then regular cents and also seems to be on uneven planchets like they have been squeezed? I'm thinking maybe candidates for an encased cent that either got popped out of the encasing or something. The weight is 3.1 grams

And last but not least a 1980 d lincoln that's super thin but still shows most details. Not sure about this one either. Because I'm not sure how it could happen. Weight is 1.8 grams

Like I said most of these I believe are PMD but just helps to hear a second opinion before throwing them in the bulk bin

All PMD IMHO. That 1980 cent was soaked in acid.

All PMD except maybe the 1946 cents.

all PMD

I knew there was a reason I only paid face value for them. Figured they were sometimes its nice just to hear someone else say it

Show use a close up of the 1946 in the upper left, could be a lamination error.

Sometimes you score ... sometimes you don't.
At least you had the experts look at them for you.

Those look like scratches so PMD, thanks for the photo

The edges of the 1946 cents look similar to coins removed from Lucky Penny aluminum holders. I think the edges get flattened when the holder is pressed to keep the coin in place within it. Yours were likely more collectible if they had been left in them.

I've seen these marked as errors many times even by some dealers who should know the difference.

SC quarter is environmental damage. Nickels and clad that have been buried (metal detecting finds for exampke) look like this.

I agree with the other comments regarding PMD on the rest. The 80-D cent was soaked in some type of acidic solution.

Correct. You can see how some of the coins are warped on the reverses from the encasement process.

I am studying the 1922-D cents, many of which ended up in aluminum encasements, and which were scarce enough that some of those encased coins got popped out of the encasements and saved in date sets.

Some of the ones I have show this form of what I am calling "crackling," basically small parallel laminations induced by stress on the coin.

i really thought that bottom right 1946 1c may have been an incomplete strike, i think is what its called. i didn't look up any images but i figured it needed corresponding marks on the obv.
