I see a filled in d, and possibly stamp error on the 7 and We possibly.Every coin you have posted is, worn, damaged, shows evidence of poor quality control (the filled D is a broken post, very common QC issue at the mint during this time) and some very minor die deterioration that happened at the time the coin was minted. No errors all worth face value.
Regardless of what you may have read on the internet, finding real mint errors in pocket change is very rare.

The fifty-five cent has a delamination. Maybe a couple of bucks for people interested in such.

Hers another similar oe on a 51 penny. Damage as well?
Last question. Do you see errors on this half dollar. I'm just checking myself actually.
Like what?
If you're checking yourself, why don't you tell us what you see?

So far, everything I see is damage.
Why isn't the area where the 4 is gone discolored?
I see no damage on the bicentennial. That mint mark doesn't look filledin?
Filled in mintmark is not an error, just a broken post on the die. It's extremely common on coins struck from worn dies.
It’s got scratches—damage
Folk on the Net inflate the importance of filled mint marks. Ignore the term.
Welcome to the forum—as stated earlier, finding an error in your pocket change won’t happen to you.
You have great teachers here, but we can’t start you out at the college level.
If you want advice on how to learn to collect/sell coins, this thread is your chance to ask for advice.
Thank you guys that answered. I appreciate your help
I have never posted on a forum before and don't have a clue as to what proper coin, or forum etiquette may be. Concrete I'm a little more knowledgeable as I've been in commercial construction all of my adult life, and have never had a thought about coin collecting until a few weeks ago.
interested very fast on the coin thing. I just like doing it. I am not trying to start a any level guys, was just trying to get info from people who know more than I do.
I don't belive everything I read on the internet though,which is why I was asking. Damage or minting error is something I'm workingon.
You keep saying "stamp error". That isn't a thing.
99.99999% of all anomalies on coins are damage or normal wear. The other 0.00001% fall into certain specific categories. If you learn those categories, it'll get much easier for you.
It's also worth pointing out that even if you find one of the 0.00001% of coins that are actually errors, the majority of those have little added value.

Haven't you learned your lesson from yesterday!!!
Guess not!
Yes, i like looking for them Ikes. I like the nice ones but fiding a rare coin is a fun way for to me to spend time.
I've been doing this for two weeks and this forum popped up when i googled coin forum while trying to get real info. I have zero knowledge about coins at this point but I've picked up a few things here today with you gentlemen and I appreciate it. I'll do some homework before I bug you experts again for sure.
I see what appears to be a die break between the second "7" and the "6" in "1776."

Almost always damage.
Corroded. Just damage.
Again. Have you looked at genuine errors in auction archives and on LEGITIMATE error reference sites?
People don't find "rare coins" this way.
You aren't going to find anything. In fact, you're likely to throw back an error because you have no idea what a real error looks like.
Please, look at real errors. You've got a much better change of finding something if you know what it looks like. You are simply looking for damage which is why you keep finding damage.
I could not really see any damage on this coin under my microscope. I don't have a chip in it yet so that's a pic of the screen, not as clear. I just thought it looked like it had 6 or 7 legs so I posted it.
And how would you get a 6-legged Buffalo nickel? Errors happen in very specific ways.
You should NOT be looking at coins until you know what you are looking for.
Good luck to you. You're not listening so I'm going to stop talking.
Not searching for errors anymore really but came across this. I think that's a D on the jaw. I looked it up and there is something called the Dement error. Just thought I'd share.
And what homework did you do before you posted the "6-legged buffalo" and "Dement error"?
Go do your homework before running your mouth liceT
The 1956-D cent is a well circulated example of RPM#1, its a later stage as I can see the beginning of the BIE die break in your first photo. The mark on the cheek is circulation damage, not another mintmark.
