    Not a rim cud imo -

    Could be a small flake of a lamination, but
    it also could be damage. Can we see a photo
    of the edge of the cent at that point?

    Can't be a rim cud because a rim cud is confined to the rim. Whatever this is it extends out over the tops of the letters. My problem is the letter do not seem to be connected to the anomaly. If it was a design cud and a piece of the die had broken away including the tops of the letters I would expect the letters to "flow" into the cud with no separation. This makes me believe that it is probably damage and something has "pushed" the top surface of the rim over above the lettering.

    It appears to be a lamination, I almost imagine I can see a small portion of letter imprint on the "flakeination". Jim

    I don't think it is a lamination because if it was it would have been there when the coin was struck and the tops of the letters would have been well formed in the lamination. (The lamination layer would have conformed to the recesses in the die.)

    The 1944 looks like a folded fin or burr. It seems to ride on top of the letters with space underneath. I don't think it's PMD because there it doesn't look like there is a dent large/deep enough to push that much metal into the field.

    The 1982 is damaged

    Just my thoughts

    Suggestion.. When presenting your coins and questions.. do separate threads. There is too much going on on this thread concerning the original coin.

    Your 1982 is just all circulation wear.

    My first impression was a rim fold over, so I have to go with @Oldhoopster on this one.
