Good Afternoon all! Are these a 1982 and 1941 Pennies are Errors?

Hi everyone, I hope all is well. I am here again with two pennies that look to me like errors according to Google search, but I could be so wrong and I wanted to verify this with you experts. The first has a grainy texture to me with two lines going from one side of the coin, across the face to the other side. The colors stain look like dye to me. The second coin on the left looks like some pieces of the copper is coming up and also inside the 9. Sorry I couldn’t get better pictures. Also on the second coin with those white specks are lints not a part of the coin. I didn’t want to clean it off because you had advised me not clean coins. Thank you guys so so much for your help and please let me know what you think, and if they are errors can you please tell me what they are called. Thank you again

I apologize, I meant to have the images in order

 

I am not your error guy. I am sure the experts will be along in short order. I do believe you have a 41 with a lamination issue. A cool little coin but not too terribly uncommon....... I'll withhold judgment on the 82. That was the year the mint changed to a zinc coin with a thin copper layer and those coins exhibit all kinds of oddities that are rarely errors.

 

Also no expert here, but the 1982 looks to me like just trashy zinc. As Randy said, that was the first year of the zinc cents, and they really hadn't figured out how to do it right, so many if not most have some sort of zinc corrosion problem, causing bubbles, lumps, spots, and other deterioration. It just lowers any value it might have had, but still worth 1 cent.

The 1941 looks like a cool lamination error. These do carry a premium for some collectors, but they are not terribly rare, so the value is not huge.

And you are quite correct--never clean a coin if it might have collector value. There are some exceptions to this rule, but not many.

 

The 1982 is a stained zinc cent. It’s a spender but the 1941 is a nice example of a lamination error. Nice find.

 

Those are linear plating blisters on the 82'

 

Thank you so much!

The 41' is the one I'd keep.
