Just Need Some Input On If These Are Errors On These Three Coins Or Just PMD?

The Following Is A Brief Rundown Of What Errors I Thought It Could Be And Why On Each Coin. Also Feel Free To Be As Blunt As You Like Debunking My Theories I Actually Prefer It That Way So The Next Time I See A Similar Coin I Can Quickly Narrow Down What Errors It Cant Be Which Overall Leaves Me With A Much Smaller List Of Real Possible Errors.

1973 S - This One Looks Like It Has A DDR If You Look At The Statue And The Memorial Building There Is Strong Doubling But I Did Not See Any DDR Listed On Any Of The Various Sites For This Particular Year. Also I See Imprints Everywhere Of Letters Are These Just Die Clashes?

A Few Other Things I Noticed Are The FG Initials Look Too Close Together, There Is A Partial Collar Error (Let Me Know From My Picture If I Am Wrong) And It Is Actually A Misaligned Die, I Am Still confused On The Subject. Lastly There Seems To Be A Improper Alloy Mix Going On With The Strange Orange Tint Or Is This Just Environmental Damage?

1978 D - Now On This Coin I Can See Doubling On Both Sides Of The Coin Especially On Lincolns Nose And Ear Lobe So I Ruled Out A Doubled Die Error As Doubling Usually Only Effects One Side Of The Coin Right?

So I Switched My Thinking To Maybe This Coin Has Been Struck More Than Once And I Notice Some Possible Evidence To Back That Up. First I See What I Think Is A Collar Line Imprint On The Right Side Of The Obverse In Line With The T In Trust And A Bit To The Right Of The 8 In The Date.

Also It Appears The Statue From The Memorial Building Is Partially In Every Bay. Lastly I See Imprints Of Letters Everywhere Especially Above One Cent And It Does Not Look TO Match For A Die Clash Error And Damage To The Rim Maybe Due To The Pressure Of Multiple Strikes.

1999 - I Cannot Decide If This Coin Has A Lamination Error, PMD Or Has Been Struck Multiple Times. Lincolns Nose Is So Damaged I Thought Maybe It Was From The Pressure Of Multiple Strikes, Severe Lamination Peeling Or Just Plain Old PMD.

The Other Thing I Could Not Figure Out Is Why There Are Imprints Of Multiple 9's Above The Date And Other Lettering Impressions All Around The Coin. This Coin Too Has A Partial Collar Error (I Think).

The 1999 and 1978 Coins Weights Are Spot On And The 1973 Is Within Tolerance Weighing 3.04.

To me these pics are not large enough to evaluate your questions.
