My name is Mike and I am brand new to coin collectiing I've found some interesting ones can any one tell if they are valuable rare or not the first one is

- 1961 D Penny with what look like I big cut across Lincoln's body. Also it has the "in god we trust" overlapping the rim almost and the "L" is cutting into the left corner on liberty. In VERY GOOD CONDITION. Is this one worth anything? Here ante some pictures.

Your coin has typical wear and PMD,I am afraid it is a spender. No added value. Keep looking there are some coins out there that are keepers.

Yes, circulation damage and overall circulation wear. The L touching the rim is not an error, it's a circumstance involving the design overall, and die wear. Worth its weight in copper.

Welcome to this forum. Your coin as stated is normal for that year and shows damage, it is a spender. You are at the best place to learn about coins, the experts here ( I am not one ) are always willing to help. Hope to see more of your finds.

first - with IGWT - the rim is worn down so far that it is not level with the letters.
the L in liberty is in the normal spot for this year.
The gash on Lincoln's coat is simple damage.
In front of the nose is most likely a stain.

to the CCF L on the rim is just an ebay error that's not an error. It's made up to relieve people that don't know what they are doing and their money. All the rest is damage. And you need to start another topic for each coin. But the 82s and 83s that you posted are just regular coins, I don't see anything there.
