What might this be?

It looks like a minor die-chip in the date. It is similar to a "BIE" error on a Lincoln cent. Such die defects in the past have sometimes led to mistaken identification of so-called "overdates" when they appear in the date area.

Would you entertain the thought of this actually being a 2002 over a 1977 cent? I went back to adjust the brightness of it and was actually wearing sunglasses at the time when I noticed some other things about it. I then went to paint to draw lines pointing to the areas I think may be of interest.

The 2002 cent does look like a overdate at first glance but I agree with James,that it probably is a die chip.As to your other two cents they look like normal run-of the mill coins.The last coin was a bit blurry but I don't think that a 2002 over 1977 would probably every happen although I guess it could be possible by a long shot.We do have an expert on Lincoln varieties,Billy aka Die Varieties,who'll be able to help you out...
