here is the reverse any information i wont do a daffy duck and really comprehend what you are sharing
That poor cent looks like it was under a leg of a table to keep it stable and not allow it to wobble. Just my honest opinion.
That sort of circular gouge is usually damage from a coin rolling machine (the kind that rolls the end of the paper, rather than folding it over). I'm not 100% sure that's what it is on this coin -- usually the ring is a bit larger in diameter, because it's closer to the coin's edge -- but it's definitely a gouge and not a mint error. The dents are damage. You see the dents on the rim in particular? There isn't any way that can happen while the coin is being struck, because of the way the upsetting process and striking process work. It's just damage.
I been looking at coins in my own way wrong. In all my ignorant assumptions look you did teach me the correct way to view Lincoln cents.That is something I'll wont forget ..Thank you for having patience untill I really understood my own errors
Stick around! There's always a lot more to learn! And once you've learned enough, sometimes you can find opportunities...
all the errors are mint errors, people find stuff all the time with no knowledge. If it got damaged after the mint, its trash.
