New to coin collecting, multiple coins

I just started collecting coins about one week ago. I'm still trying to figure out whats an error and not. Coins: 1971-D, 1968-D, 1957-D,1944-D and 1943-S

Welcome to CT. Nice work on the images.

 

Great photos. I don’t see any errors standing out. What do you think you see?

I see normal circulation finds. No major Mint Errors. Just slight Misaligned strikes.

Are you collecting to keep or to sell? A lot of minor mint errors and varieties really don't have a high premium or none at all.

Here is a website to start you yo understand mint errors and varieties -

Welcome to Cointalk
The 71 D appears to have a slightly MAD ( misaligned die) on the reverse, the 43 S appears to have some damage to IGWT.JMO

Websites like these or a good book on error coins will be invaluable OP. If someone collects error coins, they need to become an expert exactly how a coin is made. It is this knowledge that will enable them to know a true error from PMD, etc. Once you can describe to us or anyone exactly how a die is created and a coin is struck, and everything that can go wrong, then you will be in a GREAT position to spot errors you come across.

 

Hey guys, thanks for all the responses. I have a lot to learn especially not to view every little thing as an error. Hopefully with in time I'll be able to spot true errors.

Thanks again,

Chris

 

Once you learn the minting process, it will be much easier to spot the difference.
