In addition to all of the other comments, I will add that it is impossible to determine an accurate grade of your coin by just a picture of the obverse.

I guess I am just dense, but I don't understand the point of this paragraph at all. In fact, this whole thread has me confused. I have no idea what you are trying to say.

It would be helpful to me if you would cite specific examples. What coins did you submit to NGC, only to have them returned as ineligible? What National Park and Smithsonian coins are you talking about? Which pieces from National, International, and Private mints? What "major grading and pricing guides" are you referring to?

I did not try to find the ebay listing to see if it had better obverse pictures, but VAM-6 does appear to be the right choice.

I have to agree with the others - the coin is not genuine.

You can't go wrong with any book by David Lange (DWLange) or Roger Burdette (RWB).
Q. David Bowers has written a few good ones, too. Also, Kevin Flynn's series of reference books are helpful, if you like to hunt varieties.

Just Bob got a reaction from l.cutler in 1982 small date Zinc Error?
I have a different take on this coin. The weak area is opposite Lincoln's shoulder, one of the higher areas on the obverse. There is not enough metal to fill both sides, so the letters in this area are often weakly struck. The obverse portrait relief was lowered in 1984 to help solve the problem, but I have seen this same issue on cents dated 1985.

I was going to say the same thing, but you did a much better job than I would have. Thank you for that good post.

What roll do you sneak 3 cent silvers in?
I sincerely hope that most of us newbies know you are joking when you give advice. I would hope you would feel pretty bad if someone took if for real advice and ruined a coin they spent their money and time to acquire. Joking is all well and good, and I am by no means an authority on this hobby. However, make sure you qualify your jokes and sarcasm as just that, because those new to the hobby are totally at a loss and see this forum as a source of sage advice.
