These 3 I found recently amongst Hammered Penny, Shillings & others all together, 

So dealing them as groups will speed things up,

The 1572 Elizabeth, Mint Ermine although I thought it was 1571 when I first looked at it.

Elizabeth 1587, Mint Crescent ,

there's a crack that runs through both sides. the reverse side looks repaired, would this have been a mint repair?

James I, 1607-1609 Mint Coronet, 

the reverse looks like a double stamp? one shield overlaps the other at a different angle... is this a common occurrence? or complete lash up at the mint??

No, repair is never done at the mint. It's much less hassle just to strike another piece than to repair.
