You really need a CPG.

You really need a Cherry Pickers Guild, not only to know what to look for but, to better understand how the varieities happen.
I can't see very well your photos and they look very circ. condition. Sometimes it is very hard to determine a RPM or OMM when worn out so much. Not only are there no die markers left but any type of hit or scape can take on the form of a doubled mint mark.

The number one mistake new variety collector have is that they find a coin that sort of looks like a D/D or whatever and think it is that die. The variety has to look exactly like the known RPM or whatever to be that coin, not just sort of like. Variety collectors not only want high grade they want more than almost anything an "early die state".
That and firmly knowing the difference between a true doubled die and other forms of doubling - so many are just mechanical doubling that mimics a true doubled die.
