Three coins in question?

Hi guys, good Friday Morning. I recently found these 3. 2 in CRH and one I bought. The one I bought is the 1961 Proof quarter. How can one determine from an ordinary scratch or if it is an actual strike through? Also if you notice. Something lurking to the right of the L in Liberty?
Next is the Minnesota quarter. Instead of the "extra trees". There appears to be finger scrapes, right? More unusual than the extra trees one might think?
Than the Somoa quarter. Is this a die chip with a crack or also a strike through?
Thanks guys for any help.

Last coin die crack and die chip
Thank you on your three analysis. You da man, when it comes to errors. Of course, second to Fred. Lol. Thanks again.
However, would you consider the Minnesota quarter, finger scrapes?

I would call those die polish lines
Yes, they are. BTW, the term is "die scapes", and they are made by the feeder finger scraping the die.

Agree with EOC on 1 and 3. I also think you're correct on the feeder finger scrapes on the MN quarter.
FWIW: Internal Die Breaks (die chips) seem to be relatively common on many of the ATB quarter designs.
1) Is a great example of a strike through...Looks like some kind of metal fragment.
Those three conclusions are correct IMO....Good pictures Joey.... Cheers, RickO
