hi I was wondering what could have done the damage on the 5c and if someone could confirm if the 1c is mint clipped or not.
thank you

I'm no pro, but... on the copper, there should be a loss of detail opposite the clip if it's pre-mint damage.

I'll second speck's take on the cent.
The 5 cent - I'll say about 4 months in a sandy pocket.

I think the nickel spent some time in a tumbler used to polish rocks and mineral specimens....
