I clearly dont. The first one is a 1896 penny.. What stands out on this one is that it is very very shinny... Like a glittery gold color. The other one is of the line that appears in it and has doubling... And the other one i think is doubled as well. Please be nice im new to this ... Thanks in advance

    The gold color you ask about on your 1896 cent could be gold plating or gold paint that has mostly worn off. Barely worth $1 in its condition.
    I can see some letters on one of the other coins you posted, I think that this was due to being pressed hard against another coin or other device to make a transfered mark, not an error coin. Your first lincoln cent has a small bump above it's ear which could be a die chip, but even that is so small it will not add any real value to it.
    Keep looking and learning.

    Nice catch on the Die chip. @alurid
    I hope this helps, Mint state examples can be a quick reference as to what the coin should look like. You can refer all your pocket change and coin roll finds to an example on the web without buying A mint set. http://m.pcgscoinfacts.com/
    With a little studying you will be able to discern wear (pmd) and errors www.error-ref.com Good luck hunting!
