Sorry you guys your right I should have asked a direct question about these coins I just started collecting and have a lot of coins that looked interesting that i i thought I would share and have conversations about but there crap like Tom said then I guess there nothing more to askAgain, I never wrote or even hinted that they were undesirable and no one else did, either.
What we all simply would like is if you ask for feedback that you state what you might have a question about. Many newer folks come onto these boards and have tons of questions and they often revolve around Lincoln cents, but some folks are wondering about the color while others think they have valuable errors, some think they are ultra high grade and then there are those who come here because they saw something on YouTube in IG or FB or wherever that stated they might have the next big thing in their pocket change.
If you just show images and ask for feedback then that is a lot to unpack and folks are likely to close the thread and move on, especially since so many of the newer folks argue and fight when folks here volunteer their time to attempt to help others (sort of like you have done in this thread). However, if you show the images and then ask specific questions about what you want to know then folks are mighty happy to help.

Just post one coin per thread and tell us what you would like to know. It will be much easier to give you the information you want that way.
I see you just joined yesterday, welcome to the forum."When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"

Yes I wanted to ask is it a error and the front is the 1993 D has cracks along the rim@Mileshamdaman12 said:
And the 9 coin from the top has four chips inside lincoln memorial that's the 1982No the slightly weak lettering comes from incomplete metal flow, that area is opposite one of the high points of the obv bust and it is not uncommon to see some weakness of those letters. The cracks along the rim of the 93-D are damage and also not any type of error. I don't see the die chips on the 82, but die chips are common and while they can be interesting, they are not considered mint errors unless they are very large or happen around the rim and form a cud.

Sorry they didn't come out right
It would help all of us soooooooo much if you could specifically ask what you what feedback about or what you think might be the "error" for each piece. Otherwise, we are all left guessing and you are wasting your own and our time and that is not a good place to be.
Regardless, many of these look like pocket-change that went through the laundry.

Sorry Tom didn't know I was wasting people time by showing coins is this your job our you just like shooting people down
Not cool twisting my words. Do you do that everywhere to everyone when you ask help?

@TomB routinely goes out of his way to provide detailed help and guidance, but he is correct here: it's really hard to provide feedback when there's no indication of what feedback to provide. Are you wondering if the coins should be graded? Spent? Traded in to go buy a house? Do we think the colors are pretty? Natural? Worth a premium? If you have a question, by all means, ask it. But if you want an answer, hoping we will guess your question and then take the time to answer it, knowing our time is wasted if we thought up and answered the wrong question, is not the best way to get one.
Where did you acquire these coins from? The colors do look like these may have been exposed to some type of soap, laundry and dishwashing soap can result in these purple and blue/brown colors that most of your coins show. Tom is correct as It would be helpful to know what your questions are, otherwise everyone is guessing and you may not get the answers you are looking for.
Also just a tip, in the future if you are loading multiple photos load them into the post one at a time, that way they will be in order, the software jumbles them as you found out when you load them all at once.

Listen Tom on new to coin collecting just not knowledgeable like you I thought this site was to gain knowledge not for experts like you to shoot people down if coins I show is crap that what they are don't need all the flamboyance
Again, what is with your response? You have received nothing but respectful replies from three members here and we are all saying the same things. I don't know what is up with you, but you should read this thread again from the beginning to see if you missed something.

They are Lincoln Memorial cents. Made of copper, before the current Zinc cents came out. Some of the toning appears natural, but some of them look to have interacted with something from the environment giving them the unnatural appearance. The coins are low grade with some being damaged.
With that said, you can find some really good naturally toned cents on eBay for very cheap. Read up on here about how to differentiate between artificial and natural toning as well as how to grade coins. Doing so will save you lots of time and money in the long run.
Best of luck on your hunting.
Pretty but they are worth face value.
Thank you guys for your feedback sorry Tom for the misunderstanding I've been reading you guys post for a while and enjoy hearing you guys comments on other people's coins and I respect all of your help thank you
It's all good. Good luck with your coins and enjoy the boards.

On a side note, the fading of STATES OF is kind of cool on the fifth coin down from the top.

And the 9 coin from the top has four chips inside lincoln memorial that's the 1982
The 1983 looks fake...or chocolate
Yeah I was wondering about that 1983 haven't seen that color on a 1983 don't have a scale so just have to weigh it
