What's going on with the edge of this penny? Never seen one like it

Its definitely part of the coin, 100% not debris stuck to it. Is this an error?

Found these in my home today, anything rare or valuable?

Was rummaging through some old furniture and these stood out to me. Ignore the gold just wondering about the coins

Mom's change

We weren't at my parent's house yesterday for a 4th of July cookout, and I noticed she had a ziplock of coins in the front seat of her car. I asked her if I could go through it before she took it to the bank to see if she had any 2026 coins. Up until now, I hadn't seen any 2026 coins, and she had two of the pilgrim quarters. She also had these in there. A 1964 quarter, a 1936 dime, a 1944 wheat penny, and a 2020 W V75 quarter.

I told my wife I check all of our change and never find anything, and my mom was getting ready to just dump these in the coin machine at the bank tomorrow.

I have a weird quarter and I’m trying to get info about it. It’s a 2008 New Mexico but it’s missing the ridges. See the pics.

The stamping seems really shallow too. Any info is appreciated. I’m not a collector, just came across this in my pocket today.

Grand parent’s silver dollars, pretty cool!!

I’ve never been a collector butt I got these from a grand parent and think they’re pretty neat and wanted to share!! I’ve always heard the old dollars are more valuable because of the metals, I don’t think I could sell them they’re more likely fun treasures to think my grand parents kept them and thought they were special. I like to think about all the people who touched them and the things they might have been used to purchase. Very fun!!

1870 LCW Canadian Half Dollar

This is a beautiful Canadian half dollar & very rare. Crazy the stuff people keep. It’s worth a good amount of money too especially for a foreign coin.

Why do the Franklin half dollar, peace dollar, and Washington silver quarter have such unsharp designs? I mean, they clearly have thechnology to make high resolution coins look at the barber dollar.

Lol these coins are so funny. So bad, they look fake. Like 90s graphics when they first invented 3d models and everything was muddy and murky.

I like sharp coins and this bothers me. Weak stamping, unsharp designs.. how can I tell the difference between UNC and XF? Have to measure the thickness lol? The letters look worn already directly from the mint. Well, I look for scratches on the parts with nothing.

Why is numista search so bad?

I legit gave up on using it I just write my query in google search and append "numista", and I always get exactly what I want.

I found an old binder with close to 700 quarters ranging from 1965-1976. Anything I should keep a look out for in this?

I found my long lost very first coin collection box from ~20 years ago!

Thought for many years this box was lost to time. Found it in another small box deep in my dad’s storage unit as we cleaned it all out. Also I don’t think Sqyntz SuperSouz is around anymore.
