    The 1983 has a die chip inside the lower loop of the 8.

    The 1943 cent is probably struck through grease, giving a weak 4.

    The 1941 cent has what is called a lamination peel.

    The 198X (?) zinc cent was struck by a worn die, and also may have copper plating shifting during the strike.

    Except the 1941, there's no added value, and even then it's little.
