I call the next one The Spitter?
small cud in front of lips.
just a few. That's see some of yours. Have fun looking.
If only these coins could talk!
The first two are just off center, or is there anything else about them?

I have a struck-through-grease and a defective-planchet Lincoln Memorial cents. I have about a 1000 Memorial cents to go through and I am waiting for a lot of 1674 Wheat cents. May be there will be some errors in there.

I think you are correct just off center, possibly some doubling not sure?/need a scope. I tend to notice things that are different. Here is another 1994 notice the reverse America I call Stretch I.e. the letters are taller.  ??

The same coin also has a small cud between the E & S in STATES, at the top.

Actually I find this is a very hard truth. In all the coin errors, there are minor and major errors. And the more is been minted, the more higher chance you will recieve a error coin. This is what I learn from Malaysia coins.

Currently I am sorting through my hording mess. Below is 61 x 10 cent Malaysia coins.


Out of 61 of them, about 8 of them some different years having off center error.


Only 1 have a weak strike.


You can compare the weak strike by left and right.


You see, if the off center error is very serious, it will fall under major error. But in this case, there are so many alittle off center error, then it would be impossible to make that as a major error. It would fall under minor error. I am not sure how they judge the off center. Like some say off center by 45 percent.

1 more example of Malaysia 10 cent different coin.


12 Malaysia 10 cents coins. This time I have about 4 off center but not very serious.


So yea. Initially I keep thinking that I have a major error coin. But looking at it, it seems like non falls in the major error coins. I have been excited for nothing. Never the less, on the bright side, I try to collect all these error coins and write them as minor errors.

Quite a number of collectors enjoy finding errors. There are several old forum threads dedicated to errors, a nice one is this:

My favorite error is this die rotation:
