Are these error coins?

    Hello forum people! I found these two lincoln cents the other day and they looked like they might be errors, so I kept them. I want to hear what other people have to say so I know what these are worth (if they even are errors).

    The first coin appears to have a die crack through Lincoln's beard and also has a strange double rim on the obverse. The reverse is normal.

    The second zinc penny appears to have little to no copper coating on the obverse or reverse, yet shows minimal signs of wear. Could this be the result of the coin not leaving the mint with a full coat of copper, or is it post-mint damage?

    Hopefully someone here will be able to provide a clear explanation of what these coins are.

    The first Cent is a Die Deterioration issue. The beard has a linear plating bubble.

    The second Cent looks like environmental damage.
