Need info on a (Unkown date) Lincoln Memorial cent

Didn't want to post to the Coin Error forum because it's probably not an error. Thanks

That was a good idea!

It may have been an error at one time, but now it's just a corroded Lincoln memorial cent, but you can probably still use it as a cent. Appears pre-zinc, but that doesn't help it any.

That's all the info I can give you.​

 

The outline on the obverse appears a little too sharp for me to think it's a struck-thru grease coin, but I can't rule that out.
@paddyman98 @Fred Weinberg @JCro57 @furryfrog02 @Rick Stachowski thoughts?

 

Looks like the start of a dryer coin. I don’t think it is an error. Some kind of damage.

 

I think it is a Struck Through Debris coin. Mostly because of the sharp inner rim line and a complete rim. And pretty sure it is post 1968.

 

The rim is what gave me pause.

 

Looks like a 1995. And it looks like struck through Grease.
Or filed down which is damaged.

 

Do you have a weight for this coin?

 

Just looked at it with a magnifying glass and I believe it to be 1996. My first thought was 1986 but at different rotations and angles think it's 1996. 99% 19_6 though

 

Yes sir, it is 2.5 g

 

These might be some better photos.

 

"Better than..."

 

How about a image of the rim .
But, I'm thinking dryer coin too ..

 

That makes it post 1982. I still think it is STD, dryer coins are usually rolled over on the edge. JMO.

 

Here's the Obverse rim the best I could do at this time. I can get the reverse later.
