Hello. I am new to the Coin World and this site and had some questions about some potential errors I spotted on some pennies. I was wondering what the technical names of these errors are and if any of them would be worth keeping or if I should just deposit them like normal. Thank you for any help.

On the first penny, there's a bit of a second edge forming on the left of the obverse side.

On the second penny, there's another double edge forming around the upper right half of the obverse side and it can be seen on the left side of the reverse as well.

On the third penny, there seems to be some missing rim, possibly just due to natural wear and tear on the right side of the obverse and some sort of second indentation line on the left side of the reverse.

On the fourth penny, there is also an additional indentation line on the right half of the obverse of the coin. It also appears to become somewhat lumpy and messed up under most of the "In God We Trust" writing. The second indentation line can also be seen on the right side of the reverse.

Nice photos.
One coin per thread is kinda a general rule.
1981,Minor MAD
1983,rim fin.
1985,worm die,circulation wear?
1988,ridge ring,worn die.
All are spenders IMHO.

Yes, one coin per thread makes it much easier/more effective to focus on any issues which may be present. Thanks.

it is hard to comment on each coin - (scrolling back and forth to get the details, and trying to NOT mix up the coins when doing so.

So please, next time only ONE coin in each topic.
as for these, I'll defer to John1 whom has gotten your answers for you.
