They are all Wide AM, I'm not seeing any die breaks or die cracks (they are not the same thing), and the first coin is suffering from severe zinc rot.

Can you explain to me ,please that why is there's extra die material.which is letting and numbers,that appears to be floating around the coin surface.the term rotting zinc! Would it be rotting if it had received a copper coating?

When the zinc "rots" and turns to zinc oxide it expands creating a bulge in the copper plating above it

It rots when air and water are able to get to the zinc through tiny cracks or breaks in the copper plating.  Crack in the plating can happen when the coin is struck and the metal expands outward, the stretching of the plating especially around the lettering can over stress the plating allowing it to crack.  Post mint damage can also scratch or break through the plating.
