    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.

    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

    That mint mark doesn't look filledin?

    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.

    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.

    Let's try approaching this a different way. Suppose that every coin you posted is indeed a genuine error. What's the next step? In short -- why do you even ask the question?

    I think you are doing things backward. I would refrain from looking for errors until you do some research. Learn the terminology first, study pictures, and build a base. It can be fun to go through coins, but you are wasting your time without the proper knowledge. Even with knowing, don't expect to find enough of them in circulation to make an hourly wage (still can be fun to kill some time).

    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."

    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.

    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.

    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.
