Is this 5 miscut? Also bonus heavy 2 on a 1

This is the problem with doing circulated bills. I can't go back for the next 9

I found this 1921 Morgan in my inherited collection and it has what appears to be a lamination error. I do t want to sell and I realize 1921 no mint isnt exactly a rare coin but I was jusy wondering if this put it above melt at all?

Bonus micro s merc and some quarters I wasnt sure about. Pretty sure the one is from a BB gun the other might be lamination but not enough to mean anything

Any specific coins I should keep an eye out for while I'm looking through these?

I have:

- five for sure war nickels and three possibles(1942

-7 buffaloes (1 1928, 2 1936, 4 ?s)

What else is there to look for in Nickels?

First two pics are a 1921 Morgan, next two are both sides of the same 1943 quarter and the last one is a 1945 quarter. Fairly certain theyre a croissant and not a bread bowl.

I can get a better picture soon but this is PMD not a defect right? Its an indent in the coin. And I think filled with glue of some sort didnt come off with a light fingernail scratch and is very hard. Don't want to clean if possible.

A few months before my grandmother passed. I was helping her clean out the garage, and she had a locked metal cash box that was pretty heavy. I asked her what it was, and she said it was my great Grandpa's collection of "old pennies my sister stole the rest years ago." I said cool and talked about how when I was younger. I had liked looking for wheat pennies and buffalo nickels when I was younger and completely forgot about it. Apparently later that week, she updated her will. 

Then, after she had passed, her will was read. And I was left the box of coins with instructions to find all the wheat pennies and buffalo nickels and split the rest evenly between me and my three siblings. 

There were a lot more than pennies and nickels, and my great aunt had not stolen all of them years ago. Currently making a spreadsheet of everything and now I'm faced with the conundrum sorting these out for distributing between my Siblings

1:Random face value distribution

2:equal piles based on melt

3: round robin coin pick

4:equal parts based on collector value

5:selling the collection amd splitting the cash. (Least desireable)

My spreadsheet of coins so far for those interested. Ill add to it as the night goes. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ra42l_HIiWI6LeaI3aMmGIm962EgARs_1WrlV3U2GG0/edit?usp=drivesdk

I feel like I just got my "first hit free" and now Im gonna be like a Junky and my wife is going to get annoyed with me running off to check every coinstar 😆

I recently got bit by the coin collecting bug after searching my Grandparents in laws coin jar theyve been filling for 60 years. It was given to me as thanks for being the one to clear out their impressive collection of a certain type of polaroids that the family did not want to see...

There were some really cool pieces in their jar most of which I gave back to the family members and so Ive been itching to go through more coins to find my own gems.

Ive been reaching out to local Facebook groups and asking people if I can buy their old change jars at face value. Quite a few people are keen on getting rid of change but dont want to take the time to count the coins (I wouldnt eant them too because the chance they do their own search first is higher and I cant trust their counts) and (rightfully) dont trust a stranger to count it for them.

If I were to just start asking a per pound or per ounce rate for coin jars, what would be a reasonable rate?

A quick search says a pound of US coins averages between $12 and $20 per pound do I was thinking maybe asked for $13 or $14 a pound just to offset the likely chance that someone will have searched it already and or taken out the quarters and dimes etc.
