Using several at the moment. They're borrowed, I haven't given any attention to the brand's, just the noises they make, and the meter readings.

The coin on the right is the one I found today. The 1is almost touching the 4 in the date, the star is larger, and the lettering in Liberty is not the same. I'm wondering if this may be an original stamp issue. I know the coin has been through a counting machine, or vending machine of some sort, however if you zoom in you'll see there are no rotation marks on the outer edges. Any thoughts, or anyone that has seen this before, your input is appreciated.

I see what you are talking about but I am not knowledgeable enough about these types of errors on coins. That is the type of stuff I look for too, even if they are just small differences.
 

5¢ times 2 = 10¢

Your pics are at an angle, so is difficult to see accurately. Right now, I see nothing that points to more than face value, but that might change if you take some straight-on photos.
 

In my experience, sometimes the wear and damage on a coin can make the lettering look distorted.

Still a cool 76-year-old coin though. It's interesting to think that there are coins that have been in circulation long enough that most, if not all, humans that were alive when they were minted are now dead. I suppose there are still a few 108 year olds who have lived the life span of a Lincoln wheat cent haha.
 

Welcome to tnet I don't see it try taking a few more pics. I agree that coins after being worn can have the look of a flawed coin Thanks for sharing!!!!
 

Perfectly normal to have very minor differences. Most likely they were struck with different dies, or even if struck with the same dies as the dies wear with use the details change a little bit. Dies are also sometimes polished or lapped to get rid of damage changing features a little bit.
