1964-D Lincoln Cent Several Lamination Errors & Possible Misplaced Partial S MM?

Dear COIN ERROR JEDI's:

Ok like I said..."I'll Be Back!" Hopefully this time with something other than post-mint damage or, more specifically, hopefully a true mint error.

Attached hereto are pics of a 1962-D Lincoln Cent with several clear Lamination Errors including, but not limited to, the Obverse: Rim (above LIBERTY) to Back of Lincoln's Esteemed Head, below the "U" in TRUST, on right-side of Lincoln's Vest, and my main point of interest....the Lamination through the DATE & MINT MARK.

My Question(s) are as follows:

1) Is this an example of a Mint Error (Not Post-Mint Damage)?, and;

2) If so, is it possible there is a secondary MM, namely, an "S" MM (or bottom-half of an "S" MM), located below and/or over the lower stem of the "9" in the Date?, and;

3) How would I identify the RIM ERROR (above LIBERTY) that looks like an "s-turn" on a race track? (Is it a specific Error other than the Lamination that extends therefrom?), and finally;

4) Any additional Errors present, other than the Laminations?

As always, I humbly submit my inquiry, look forward to your valued input, and I am grateful for your time, and knowledge. This forum, it's Q&A opportunities, and the level of expertise of the responses from expert...neh...JEDI Members is truly a priceless information asset for numismatists of all levels. Thanks!

DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged.. All of it

No laminations. Those are circulation hits. All you have stated that is not PMD is surely PMD.

Sorry, but your coin took a lot of hits while in circulation. It's PMD, not an error

Excellent pictures though!

 

Hiya @Jay-D..

What is helping me be able to identify post mint damage, is that at a point I sat down and began to study how coins are made. What is a particular coin made of and what is (was) the actual process of minting? Once I really took time to BEGIN to understand that and saw examples of the effects on a coin as a result of various types of die (and other) damage, I began to understand that the type of 'damage' you point to on your coin could not happen at the mint. What would cause it, given the minting process? That is one of the first questions that I consider when looking at coin 'anomalies.' Just my humble, (and will always be) student input -- and I am still often wrong.

Unfortunately they are all damaged.

 

If those are mint errors, I'm rich!!! That penny took a lot of hits from something. I'm no expert but I can tell post mint damage.
