These appear to be examples of filled dies, something which is not uncommon. During the minting process dies can become partially filled with extraneous material, which causes part of the design to be missed when the blank is struck. On 20th century pennies, colon dots are the most common element of the design to be affected in this way.

Hi all, thanks Accumulator for input so quickly,i'm not only mew to coins but all so the computer, and trying to photo coins to,it was only when i attached the photos i realised the 3D was there as well,it tock 3 hours to find them and size them.So if i could be so bold i have an 1886 penny which on the second 8 has been double striked i think to the right of it,there's a bit of dirt in the top of the 8 should i try to remove it, or leave well alone. I'll try to attach a photo again if you would like to take a look and give me your thoughts on it.Thank you again shamo.

Again, a fairly common thing...re-touched/struck digits when the dies start wearing out. Only strikingly obvious totally wonky ones may cause a little ripple of interest (but not always).
