The cent looks that way in what's called "full red" (RD), which is quite common for modern dates. As for the dime, the letters between the torch and oak leaf on the reverse appear weak but there. Nothing out of the ordinary here either. Hope that helps.

US cents of the past 40 years do not really circulate for very long. They tend to end up in hoards of small change. As a result many cents of this era retain their original "red" appearance for many years. The coin you show is probably one of these hoarded cents. It is worth only one cent.

The dime may not have been fully struck due to some grease being on a part of the die. Some collectors are interested in coins that exhibit this problem but most are not. It is not likely that the dime you show would have any value beyond its face value of ten cents.

You might be looking at the plating bubbles on the 2000 cent. Common with the copper-plated zinc cents.

I agree with @291fifth that the 1st dime is likely a grease-filled die. It is pretty common to lose a letter or number here or there.

The dime is either a misaligned die or slightly off-center strike. It is pretty common with dime, in my experience. Collectors will not tend to care unless it is much farther off center.
