Looks to me like there is some sort of substance on it.    
If it was struck through, it would be concuse, yours appears raised.

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.

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.

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

What is the weight to 0.01g?

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. 

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.

Obviously if you enjoy this look there is nothing wrong with collecting them, but there is no real value

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.

    I assume that by a "woody" you mean a copper coin with "woodgrain" toning. Your 1920 Lincoln cent is well-worn, and the dark streaks are more likely the result of environmental exposure than its original alloy mixture.  

   I think that my 1909-S V.D.B. Lincoln cent has this type of toning, as I recall do many "S" mint cents of that year.  Note the mottled pattern (not solid-colored streaks) on both sides of the coin:

 

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.

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.

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.

I don't think chucking this back into change is necessarily the right thing to do with it. I would look into it further. Even though it is not some big dollar coin, part of the fun in this hobby is research and analysis and making connections with other people who have knowledge we do not currently possess. I would hold on to it and try the CONECA route

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

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.

I don't think we are going to be able to come up with a definitive or conclusive answer from just the photos, an in hand examination by an error coin expert is likely needed

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?

On 12/4/2023 at 11:53 AM, EagleRJO said:

So I would put it in a labeled flip and toss it in a miscellaneous errors box.

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.

Please disregard any posts by dprince as they have an established history of providing misinformation and linking unreliable sources.

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.

On 12/4/2023 at 4:01 AM, EagleRJO said:

they are die scrapes caused by feeder fingers scratching the die as discussed at the following Error-Ref link

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.

This may be something.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavy_steps_and_trails

On a 1994 penny.

 

Thank you I never heard of traildies. I just looked it up. I have found coins with blistering and linear blisters and I know these are not blisters.

I have pushed down on them with a toothpick even using the nail on my thumb but the lines are completely solid protruding from the coin so I do not think it is blistering at all.

Came across this coin and I have found others with a straight raised line mint error. I have never seen a coin with so many and so long. I also know the 94 Lincoln cent has an error in the memorial on reverse in the last column. Don't know if this could be something as rare as that coin? Need expert advice and opinions.

I know I should show offers and reverse of the coin but it doesn't really matter unless it's a double die.

I'm looking at the split serifs at the end of the letter U on the N and I....

It doesn't seem to be too clean like machine doubling. I'm not sure I need some help. If it is a double die I will pictures of the rest of the coin.

Thank you

Sorry about that high price I just saw one on eBay I didn't take time to look for others but you guys were right way too high 😅

Hello I came across this 1955 Philadelphia wheat cent it has a pretty nice side ship on the date. I was wondering if that would give the coin value. Also around the rim on the lettering possibly doubling or is it dye deterioration? Need some help. Thank you

Okay thank you I will read the post again and more carefully. ✌️

The coin is in good condition and you can clearly see the extra V on the bottom of Lincoln's bust.

$40+ shipping.

blister from gasses building up below the coin surface.  That would collapse if you gently pushed down on it with say a q-tip

Understand what you're saying and I tried pushing down on it. It is raised up and solid. 100% raised out of the coin solid as a rock. So what you're saying if it was caused by gases and it was a blister it wouldn't be solid correct? 

Does this mean it is a die crack?

Are you looking for something like this?
