    Any coin that looks like the nickel above is PMD. Post mint damage.

    Definitely damaged, and not a US Mint error.

    The Lincoln cents are worth a few cents each.

    Road rash. 5 cents. If you can't use it in a self serve machine it's worth nothing.
    I used to be able to cash in my mutilated coins once a year (metal detecting) but my CU stopped doing it and it's not worth the postage to mail in a bunch of rotted zincolns to get reimbursed. You can always use this coin to hand pay a cashier but
    I feel bad giving them such a coin and just put it in my junk jar of coins I can't redeem.

    PMD on the first nickel. The group collection: all look like keepers except the buffalo nickel. But as mentioned, the wheats’ values are minimal in those conditions, the Ikes look in really good condition and the Bicentennial Kennedy just possibly should be slabbed. The 5 franc is beat up; you would have to find the mintage for rarity…otherwise it would be of minimal value too…imo…Spark

    EDIT TO ADD: From NGC World Coins…The 5-franc…The mintage is 45.5 million, so not rare. XF40 is listed at 1.00 value USD. For comparison, at MS60 it lists for $1.50 USD…but this ‘72 5-franc is nowhere near mint state.

    Aw c'mon Eddie, they're at least good for a few cents . . . or crackin' a horse's teeth.

    Suggestion - please try to create your threads over at the Error Coins forum here on CoinTalk. First learn what you might have. Worry about value last.
    Not everything that looks different, strange or weird is automatically a mint error. It takes time to learn what occurred on coins such as yours and true errors.
