    The off center cent is vintage late 80s, early 90s (1987-1992). Not a heck of a lot of value, but it's always interesting to try telling the date on a coin without a date.

    The "bubbles" cent is a very common plating problem with the early zinc cents. They alleviated that problem for the better part around 1987, but there are more bubbled cents from 1982-1986 than ones without the bubbles.

    The nickel and dime are completely outside my area. I dunno anything about them.

    The 1929S cent does not appear to be an RPM. Sometimes machine doubling may only affect the mint mark because this is the only part of the design put on by hand, and sometimes the angle of attack when punching those is such that coins tend to get stuck in the mint mark on the die and get "scooted" out of the way by the feeder fingers while the coin is still stuck in the mint mark. I have seen a number of coins that show machine doubling in the mint mark and nowhere else.
