but not sure how a strike thru of an object could repeat it self in the same place over and over without being shifted. Could the die have had a raised rough edge to the design that, after several hits, broke away?

that is a great question. Can you now get a few images of the other coins and post them here the same way you did the last one? I want to see if there are very subtle changes we didn't see on your earlier images.

Per your last request I am attaching five images of five different coins. I tried to turn the coins to capture the blemish at the same angle. One thing I noticed is that at one certain angle the light seems to reflect a rim around a darker center. Anyway, let me know your thoughts. I think this is so interesting.

Well I'm seeing a progression with these. So I think this is a lump of hard grease that was on the die and it changed slightly with each strike. I think you have some nice quarters that show a sequence of strikes. Next thing to do is try to put them in the proper order.

I will do my best on that, but what will it show? And, what should I do with such a series of coins? Do these coins fall into a category? And should I have one or all validated by a third party? At best these are MS67 or less.

It won't really show anything special - once you figure out the strike order, you can put them into 2x2's and label them in sequence for your collection.

By what description would I title this repetitive strike through error on several coins. Are sequential strike throughs of this type a Variety? Or, are varieties only assigned to Double Dies?

Well it is not a variety, a variety is a repeatable event, such as what you mentioned a Doubled die, or an RPM, or something as simple as the 1960 and 1970 large and small dates, or even the 7 different varieties of the 1\982 Lincoln Cent.
I would most likely call this a ' Struck Through Grease'.
