Yes. If that is an RPM to the S/E that I think I see what a shame to do that to it.

Looks a little machine doubled. The reprocessing enhances the imperfections on the coin. OK, now a guess. The lower serif isn't really seperated, it just looks that way because the light makes it appear seperated, but is really a glare from lighting?

I wish I could tell for sure about separation on this one. But with the plating I just can't tell. Not experienced enough with reprocessed coins. Probably Machine Doubling.
Is this coating of the 43's something that is still going on or a thing of the past. Some I see looks like they were not even cleaned just plated over dirt/corrosion.

If anything it's die erosion, not machine doubling. 1943 dies had a tendancy to wear in very odd ways because of the steel planchets. I have seen a LOT of shadow doubling on 1943 cents, and your mintmark could be a product of just that.
