    Your picture of the Zincoln (copper coated zinc cent) is nice, but just shows some zinc rot. The other is so out of focus, nothing can be said. Focused pictures with an indication of what you think you are seeing can get some opinions.

    Actually that is a zit caused by zinc rot.

    Cropping and rotating helps. My simple program doesn't rotate well.

    Yes, ma'am... but, unfortunately, is still said "zinc rot".

    As for the 53, do remember that mintmarks were still hand-punched into dies at that time, and means positions can vary. Yes, the location does appear to be less common, yet doesn't make it significant or valuable. As for any possible doubling it may display, I simply cannot see it well enough to say one way or the other.
