    Looks like a lamination to me. Are you referring to the place from the left wheat stalk to the "E" in cent?

    Yes that's exactly what I was talking about. From the inside wheat on the left to the "E" in CENT. It kinda looks like it might say something, some word but I can't make out wat it says. Is this an error coin then? Cuz it does look like it got struck on the coin. ... I really didn't explain that rite for the title. I did not come out rite

    I think you may be right about it being writing on there. A sharper picture would tell for sure, but I've overlayed a lincoln cent obverse and what I can see in your picture matches up pretty well with "LIBERTY," especially the RTY.

    I don't know much about errors. What if anything could cause one raised word from the obverse to show up on the reverse?
