the dot you refer to (which is under a wheat stalk, the coins are called Wheat Cents or Wheaties) could be a die chip. for the rest of the coins I do not see anything .here are some helpful sites:

On the 1943 cents you have to keep in mind that the dies and the planchets were made of steel. Both made of the same material instead of copper planchets created heavy wear on the dies. The devices appeared weaker, the die cracked more, more clashes happened and the devices that faced toward the rims show the most wear first. Some of the coins were replated with zinc and they didn't prepair the planchets enough. So the replated cents are of little interest to collectors. The orginal plating is what collectors want. The coin on the right of the three images looks like a normal circulated example without rust. But the two on the left look like problem coins. Looks like plating over rust on the one in the middle. The middle one also shows heavy die wear on the 4 in the date. The color on the two on the left don't appear natural. So as far a doubled dies? I see nothing showing any hub doubling on any of these.

Coop would have told you if it was worth anything besides putting it in a Whitman Book as part of your collection, if you are indeed collecting.
