Hi , I have here 4 quarters, 2 nickel and one dime which might be error coins. I am new to fully understanding coin collecting so I would appreciate any opinions you may have.

it would be easier for us if you made a post for each coin instead of just 1 post for all.
that way it keeps track of replies better and things dont get confused.

also take a closer picture of each obverse and reverse and any area that you suspect is an error.

as for your coins:
i see a War Nickel - 42 S
and the bottom 1936 wash quarter may be a clipped planchet.

from the pictures the others look like normal circulation wear.

better pics of all the coins may help us see things not noticed on the group shot

The mercury head dime has a circumferential scratch. This type of damage has been associated with some old time vending machines, like gumball machines.

The 1936 is a curved clipped planchet. The Blakesley affect is visible.

Thank you very much everybody for the welcome and thank you for all of your insights. I will try to take better detailed pictures and submit them to this forum. Thank you also to twistedt and coop for your valued opinion of it is indeed a 1936 planchet. I truly believe that you Sirs have correctly identified it. I never knew there was ever such an error. That one specifically I thought was not an error but I wanted to share it with this forum first. It has the Blakesley Effect and everything, so now I am quite certain it is indeed an error. Thank you !
