  1. I understand what you are saying but it is not raised it is flush with the coin it does not go any higher than the lettering or the memorial it is flush.
  2. Here are some other coins I found that have been struck through some type of material somewhat similar to my coin except the design is a little more dramatic. If it was not struck through a material I'm wondering how the coin would have these porous holes that are one with the coin it is not crud or corrosion it is the same copper material as the rest of the Lincoln cent.
  3. Thank you guys for your thoughts and opinions but like I said it's not a hardened crust or gum or any type of Gunk on the coin it is the same material as the coin part of the coin that is the coin it is not a different material that is stuck on it it cannot be scraped off the coin weighs three points 12 g
  4. I applaud your sarcasm. Okay I'm going to ask you to think don't hurt yourself if it wasn't acid that ate away the coin would the coin weigh more or less take your time don't hurry it's a tough one.
  5. 1969 Philadelphia Lincoln cent. It appears that it was struck through some type of cloth or sponge pores material don't really know. It is part of the coin is not caked on dirt or anything of that sort it is the coin. Need expert help opinions advice. Thank you.
  6. No sir no particular reason. Just trying to learn more about the minting process and how different errors occur. It seems there is a lot of misinformation on the web so I'm just trying to pick through it as best I can. I do believe I have a much better understanding of what causes the wood grain look on the planchet and certain details it should have. Thank you for your time time and responding.
  7. Thank you sir for telling me correct terminology. I do see what you are talking about with your 1909 coin. I do see the pattern the mixture and the streaks high thought I had found a wood grain coin but I was told it was just roller marks. I would appreciate your opinion on it I posted three pictures you can also see on the reverse there is a discolored yellowish stripe on the back. I also saw an image of a 1921 wood grain coin that had thicker black course lines going through it but that was on YouTube and I know a lot of the information is incorrect. Thank you for taking your time to respond and help me out.
  8. Okay I had posted a 1982 Lincoln cent which I thought was possibly a woody and it wasn't I'm learning the difference between roller lines and a real Woody this coin has fit black lines mixed in on the obverse still need help.
  9. From what I've read about Woody's this seems to be one I don't want to jump the gun though I was wondering I've heard two different things that they used to be collectible and now they're not so collectible others say they're coming back I don't really know what's true. I need some expert advice knowledge. It has the wood grain lines running through the obverse and on the reverse there's actually a lighter yellowish colored line running through the center.
  10. Great information! A lot of you guys have been helping me out so much I'm very grateful. I'm going to take your advice and some others with posting photos on the forum I believe that's what was said before coneca will make a decision to check it out. Like you and others have said it's part of the hobby of collecting coins learning what you can and having fun with it. Thank you
  11. Thank you guys I really appreciate your help and all the information you've given me and I do understand it's just an error coin but still I'm very interested in finding out exactly what it is be a good learning experience. I'll never stop looking for other coin varieties always hoping to find good quality coins from Cherry pickers guide. It's a very fun hobby and I'm hooked never know what I'm going to find when I'm coin roll hunting and I weigh all my pennies 😅😅✌️ Thanks again guys I will let you know what the outcome is.
  12. Awesome information I have so much to learn I had no idea about different types of presses used in different years. I really do want to know how this error was caused exactly and what it is. I do believe it is worth it to send out to be looked at by an expert. Would you be able to recommend where I should send it to?
  13. Hey thank you for all the advice and I'm definitely going to check out those sites you provided. Yeah I'm going to hang on to it I have some other error coins so I'll stash it with those you never know what might happen in the future this type of error could have some value to it.
  14. Thank you for the advice I appreciate it. I have been looking at trail errors and finger feeder die errors. I have only found an image of a coin with various straight lines running through it looks very similar to the same error on the coin I found and it was the finger feed or die error. I'm still trying to find more information about the hubbing process exactly how it happens I'm still relatively new to collecting I've only been doing this about 5 months now. Are two images I found that are similar to the error on my coin.
  15. Thank you very much. I have learned about two new errors trail dies and feed her finger scratching. I appreciate helping me out now I know where to look to find out exactly what these are.
