If they are recessed, like scratches, maybe something with the ejector?

To me, it looks like the 9 got hit/scraped with something just from circulation. The 4 doesn't look doubled to me. The same thing that gouged the 7 also took the triangular corner of the 4

I think that this is the one that you have on this CCF 5/5 entry. Broken vine (twice) and broken stem, XF40+

Yes, I see the 5 that may have been repunched. I see a bit on the 2, but don't think that it is a double die, at least to my way of looking at doublings of Vicky large cents. Maybe by modern graders with modern coins, the strict definition of double die has changed. I don't do anything with any 20th or 21st century coins. Sorry for my post.

The only doubling I see on either coin dates, is just a little MD or die deterioration. The photos are too small/fuzzy to see anything on the Obv, so I don't know what you are referring to.

Great coloring, but the "doubling" is machine/mechanical doubling (MD) and adds nothing to the price. I doubt if there is much of a market for your dollar, as there are a lot of them out there, but it's a sure keeper.

Wow, Gene! You done really good again, as my Okie friends would say. Then, I guess that you aren't going to be interested in the 50 or so I gave Gidjit on facebook to sell.

What I see is the back tail of the 5 saying "not as thick" when it's much wider than the vertical portion of the 5, as well as thicker than the "point", But I'm not a modern expert by any means.

I'd say XF40. The shoulder shows just a little wear, and the vertical gems in the crown shows them all. Mustache is worn.

This is what CaC says about their prices in the lists ... "Values in the section are based on the market, trends, auctions and recognized books, publications and catalogs". The BEST way to see what the current selling prices are on Ebay, going to "advanced" and then looking at the actual sold prices for any item. I always thought CaC prices high or "wished for"

Well, they must have struck coins with the Rev as an erased "194" die and then punched in the last digit, weather a 3 or 1 2. There are all kinds of varieties dealing with the 3 and the hoof for the '43 for spacing and position. Then they used the same Obv cracked dies to marry with the hand-punched Rev's for the date. It was wartime and the Mint didn't get the top-notch steel for dies. The good stuff was used for tanks and trucks and weapons.

10 Cents Canada 1980 Is It Now A DDO?

No, it's still mechanical/machine doubling. Read the Wexler link that I pasted above and look at the examples further down in the article. It's still a neat coin, but just an error caused by the locks on the die coming loose and the planchet moves a little (microseconds) as the die rises up and off the planchet. Once the die is locked back in place the doubling stops.
