1980-- what is the stricking marks considered, if anything? 1973-- Is his ear normal looking? 1970-- What is the 3 or E in front of his face? Is this a error?
The 1980 may be a bit of a 'woody'. Streaking that looks 'wood' like is behind the naming convention. I believe it's caused by impurities in the copper. It's quite common amongst early 80s cents. Check the Glossary here for a better definition. http://www.coincommunity.com/dictio.../coins_w.asp
The other two look like circulated cents. The three is an interesting scratch(es). Good luck on the hunt!!
