Took the liberty to straighten your picture. Looked at some other 1951's and appears your's is slanted for sure. Nice find...

From coinsite.com:

[Querying person writes]: I have a 1951 Lincoln head cent. The only error I can find wrong with it is that the 1 in the date is severely slanted. I do not know what caused the error, and I was wondering if there was a price for such an error.

[Site responds]: This is a common effect of damage from the device that pulls coins through a counting machine. The metal is actually bent at the surface by the tongue that moves the coin. This damage does not constitute an “error” nor does it increase the value of the damaged coin.

Due to the length it looks are more like an incompletely struck 4 than a slanted 1.

It looks like a die chip, not a mint mark.

The slope and spacing are completely wrong for it to be a filled die 1954:

The other one is, as said, just a chipped die.

The weak O is not indicative of what die it came from. It is just an area of the coin that did not fill the die well. A close look at all of the details would be needed to determine if it came from a given die.
