    Each penny looks a little off center to me...there also seems to be some more imperfections that I can't seem to figure out.
    Can anyone tell me if I'm wrong or are there any other imperfections??

    Thank you in advance!

    The 1973 is a minor misaligned die. Not seeing anything out of the ordinary on the other two.

    There is nothing of note on any of the coins. For a misaligned die coin to have any value, the coin has to have detail missing. None of these coins qualify as anything unusual.

    To clarify, the coin in my profile pic is of an off center strike. It is equally off center on the obverse and the reverse and was struck without the retaining collar.

    A mis-aligned die strike usually effects only one side of the coin and is usually struck within the collar of the coining chamber. A mis-aligned die strike usually appears as being slightly off center on one side of the coin, yet normal on the other.

    (There are exceptions where both the obverse and reverse dies are mis-aligned but their diagnostics are different than those used to identify an off-center struck coin.

    So the coin in my profile pic is not a mis-aligned die strike.
