1917 and 1943 penny

The 1917 looks like a Doubled-Die Obverse with the shape of the 9, the 1943 seems to be missing the 4, thoughts?

with circulated coins like these, it is difficult to tell what exactly happened. I would say, that it is likely either struck through grease, or PMD, but either way, not very valuable.

 

1917 - almost a 100 year old coin. Circulation wear. Date probably took a hit.

1943 - Have seen plenty of these weak 4 or in some cases missing 4. Struck through grease effect.

 

Agree with @mikenoodle & @paddyman98 Here's a sample of a 1943 struck thru.
Sorry about the slab. It's scratch up pretty bad! No, really bad!!

 

P.S. That die crack on the 17 goes from Lincoln's head right on to the table!

 

Cat was up on the printer/scanner.....

 

As you can tell, not much goes unnoticed here.
