Just a strike from a really worn die. IMO
I can’t tell one way or the other on the second one. It blurs when I zoom in. Have you checked it with the ones listed on copper coins? I’d wait...
I’m going to say no for the first one. I don’t see the split serifs or the die markers.
Sure
You might get a weight also. RPM 1 is a copper large date.
Can you post pictures of the obverse and reverse?

Thanks for the pictures, nice coin. As to your original question(s)... if this is what You like then does it really matter what anyone else...
Can you show us the reverse and a picture of the slab?
AU 55, nice!
That’s what happens when they are burnt or heated with a torch. Gotta love them.
It’s post mint damage. PMD

Nope.
MD.
Can you post full pictures of the obverse and reverse?
It appears to be environmentally damaged by all the pitting. Nice proof reverse though.
Very nice die crack!
This is PMD. Post mint damage. The light is coming from the left (west) of the coin. Any raised devices would be bright on the lighted side coin,...
It’s mechanical doubling. Flat shelf like with reduced devices.
