Looking for insight on this 1959d Lincoln Cent 1 1

[R'CoinsWild]

 Complete coin has a  marble  texture throughout. It seems to be the same type of texture on the letters, numbers, Lincolns head, rim and throughout.  Beyond my experience.  Anyone have any experience or seen this type of  coin? It's not just in some areas but throughout, same texture, nothing is different on any part of the coin as far as pattern changes or the type of marking, except for the reverse bottom half die Crack that has interesting pattern.

🐓:  Texture?  So what's he sayin'? It's an error? An ERROR?    

Q.A.:  No.  He knows the LAW on such specious claims:  Time-barred by the Statute of Limitations.  Besides, what does he expect to find after copper has been in circulation for 65 years? I don't see anything anyway and even if I did,...

   Welcome to the NGC chat board.

   The "texture" to which you refer on this circulated 1959-D Lincoln cent is made up of numerous nicks, marks, and abrasions that the coin picked up from contact with other coins and objects as it circulated. What you refer to as a "die crack" on the reverse is a scratch. A die crack would be raised, not depressed with displaced metal along its sides. I've seen many circulated coins with this "texture". It is not a positive characteristic, quite the opposite.

I really appreciate your help

 Thanks. It's really hard to see on the pictures.  I'm definitely not trying to figure some new error or break some government code, attaching a few more. I should have my new microscope come in today, to get a  better look at it

While I'm here. Have a different lincoln cent strange coloring. Any ideas

Copper can change to many colours depending on what they have been exposed to over the years. Even in albums they can become toned.   

There is no premium for different colours nor are they considered Varieties or Errors.

Neither of those coins have anything of numismatic value or worth.  Both are just normal circulated coins with the usual marks and toning/staining that happens to copper coins in circulation.   Even if there were a die crack (spoiler alert there isn't one) die cracks do not add value to knowledgeable collectors. 

If you like these coins there is nothing wrong with keeping them each is worth about 3 cents for the copper metal value.

Put away the microscope. Better still, return it if you still can.

   I use a digital microscope, usually on top of one or more books, to image entire coins, not to find varieties at high magnification. Most experts agree that whatever you can't see about a coin at 5-7x magnification isn't significant, although I will admit to using a 10x loupe. ("With few exceptions, NGC will not attribute die varieties that require greater than 5x magnification to be clearly recognizable." What is a Variety? | NGC (ngccoin.com).)

   You should not touch a coin that has any collector value in your bare hands, except by its edges if you must. Skin oils can be quite detrimental and may be partly responsible for your copper alloy coins having unusual colors.
