These die cracks are fairly common on Liberty Nickels. Neither one is a retained cud die crack. The area around the neck appears to be a...
I don't see any lines in the last photo you posted. Try it again, with the top of the coin's photo orientated correctly, and maybe we'll see...
You seem to be pointing out normal surfaces for a struck coin. We see no indication of any error. Some arrows seem to point to surfaces that...
I've said this before, but it needs to be said again: In 2004 I took a special, 2-person Floor Tour of the West Point Mint. (I was there in 1973...
In my opinion, a Rockwell Test coin will never be found in circulation. Yes, post the coin and ask if that's what it is.... no problem there......
The OP's first coin shown is just toning. Not a mis-annealed/sintered/copper wash coin.
Nice Die Chip on that Reverse Die - I think Mike Diamond says these are 'interior (cud) Die Breaks'
Different years, different Mints, different dies, and circulation will give coins 'different' looks. All your nickels are normal coins.
Check out the surfaces of the coin itself. It's got lots of bag marks/hits, and some environmental damage to the surfaces itself. There's no 3...

Please take a close up photo of the edge of the Sac. Dollar. We should be able to easily tell if it's am MEL error, or if the edge lettering has...
Yes, from the reeding of another dime.

....better later than never !
It's an "S" mintmark
I agree with PM 98 - Based on the photos, that's contact reeding from another dime in the field, to the right of Roosevelt's neck.
The top right side of the S has a hit on it. I see what you're talking about, but that's from contact with something, and isn't an error.
The serifs of those S-mint Peace dollars can sometimes look different or strange if the coin is well circulated, or if the MM has a 'hit' or...
Or you can just flip them over, top to bottom (not side to side). If the top of the reverse of the coin points to 1:30, it's a 45 degree...
Separate names with a comma.
