The top one is from a worn out die. The S mint looks to have a grease filled die. The only one in my book that might be something is the bottom one and that one might be a repunched mint mark. They are all lower grade and probably wouldn't be worth much if any premium.

I don't know want your wanting to know but do you have a Red Book? If not you need to invest in one as soon as you can.

 

Are those steel pennies?

 

There were some that were struck on Bronze by mistake and have sold for over $100,000.00 according to the Red Book. You need to use a magnet to determine if any of those might have been plated with copper as well.

 

The Red Book does show 1943 D Boldly Double Mintmark and that may very well be what you have there. If so ...once again...the Red Book will tell you the value and shows a picture. I am sure you can obtain the same information on the internet elsewhere also.

 

I have no idea on that S and the 4 being missing or close to being missing. It looks as though it was a problem with the die and it not only affected the 4 but the mintmark as well. I don't see any reference in here to that so it might be very rare or maybe someone did it intentionally. It looks as though it is the die though.
