Hello I am still pretty new to coin collecting, so i have quite a few keepers lol. Can someone please tell me if these are valuable errors?

#1: This is 3 different quarters i found, i actually found one with the crater/hole in it and decided to hang on to it, and then i ended up finding 2 more with the same thing in different spots. Is this a mint error or just some kid with a hammer and nail?

#2: I have 2 of these, are they mint errors or just dirty coins?

#3: This is a 2004 state quarter, is this machine doubling or something else?

#4: Another state quarter, this ones from 2007. You can see the best doubling in the C:

#5: Im pretty confident about this one, a 1987-D cent. Look at the D and the 8, and the 7 in one of the pics:

This last one isnt an error, I just thought I'd share it because its the first 2013 ATB quarter ive found ^_^

Sorry if the pictures are blurry or hard to see, im trying to take them through my 10x loupe so you can actually see the doubling. Let me know what yall think!!
 

The holed ones are just post mint damage, same with the 1974 (coins tarnish in the ground).
 

Okay I thought so but wanted to make sure first. I had the quarters in another thread and someone said that it was just machine doubling. Still need an opinion on the cent though!
 

Machine doubling on the cent also. Don't be discouraged. Pick yourself up a Cherrypicker's guide and they will identify which varieties to keep an eye out for. The 2013 ATB is the nicest of the lot.
 

I have a copy of strike it rich with pocket change, the most recent one that was published, 2011 I think. Is the cherrypickers guide a more extensive list? The cent looks to me like a Rpm at least, judging by other photos in my book. I guess I gotta read up more on machine doubling haha my stash of keepers is probably gonna get alot smaller soon

Yes, the Cherrypicker's guide is much more extensive and show info on coins that don't circulate (like older issues and I think some commemoratives) where as strike it rich just shows currently circulating coins (memorial pennies, Jefferson nickels, clad dimes, quarters and halves, Ike and newer dollars)
