Hi Willems, welcome to the forum. Can you tell us more specifically what you believe to be errors? Several of the closeup pictures are a bit blurry so it's hard to guess without more direction. The arc-like scratch on the obverse above the date is damage, probably from a coin rolling machine. The dot to the right of the date appears to be a plating bubble, essentially a little bit of air stuck between the copper and zinc core. I can't tell what I'm supposed to be seeing on Liberty or the edge of the coin. On the reverse, the copper plating has split above the T and E of United, revealing the zinc core underneath. Not sure what I'm supposed to see in the picture of the monument and "ENT". The Ridge Ring on the reverse I'm uncertain about. Could be a number of things, but maybe someone else who's more certain will chime in.
Last but not least, a word of advice for the wellbeing of your collection -- natural oils from your skin are easily transferred to coins, and this will permanently mar their appearance. It's best practice to hold your coins by their edge, and also consider wearing gloves if you're so inclined.
Hope this all helps.
