The pitchers are not all that clear but the Washington looks to be a die crack with a die chip the dime looks like someone punched it with another letter or something after it left the mint no extra value for either one of them

IMO those are not PMD there are as I can tell 4 different discrepancies, 2 on each the dime and qtr. With out seeing the whole coin (for each coin) it's hard to tell. But they are listed here as to what they are. https://www.error-ref.com/

 Die chip and scratch on quarter, counterstamp on dime. Face value coins. When posting coins please show full obverse and reverse of the coin and post one coin per thread.

I think what you see on the quarter is the Denver mint mark. And the dime is just damage.

If you want to catch a rainbow trout, you need to know what a rainbow trout is. If you want to find an error coin, you have to know what an actual mint error is. Most odd looking things on coins are just post mint damage ( PMD) Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don't learn the coin hobby backwards.  Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage or useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, etc. Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.
