Are these pennies errors?

    So, I'm new to this and wanted the opinion of pros. All right, so I have three pennies, two that almost look cut on the obverse, and one that has stripes on the obverse. Pics are attached. Sorry for the poor quality in some of them :( Anyway, can you tell me if these are errors?

    Not errors, PMD- damage after the coins left the mint.... worth a penny! Keep looking!

    Thanks so much! I suspected that to be true of the damaged looking ones, but is it true for the striped one as well? The stripes aren't groves, they're just stripes that almost look as if they were included in the penny.

    Welcome!
    Coins #2 and 3 in the first picture are post-mint damage...coin 1 appears to have an improperly mixed alloy, or "woodie" error as it gives it a woodgrain appearance.
