Hope everyone had a pleasant holiday and I wish everyone here an happy new year

I'm new here and I just went though an old coin stash I had. I noticed I had a few "older coins" in it and while browsing here I looked closely at one of the 1945 5 cent I had.
I took some pictures and I think (very humbly) there might be some casting errors. Notice on the left of the "C" and on the upper side of the "S" (a line and an indent right above it)
Am I under the right impression?
Also, is there anyone who know of a trustworthy appraiser in the Montreal region?
Thank you so much for your attention!
