    Does anyone have any information about why this happens and if it's worth anything?

    An impact moved some metal around on the surface while in circulation. Worth a cent.

    If you want to see some interesting errors, check out the this article on "bonded" coins, do a search for "doubled die errors", or stop by the Variety and Errors web site.

    Thank you for the quick response. I don't know why I didn't think of that but the light turned on in the first line of your message.
    I have a 21 Morgan and an interesting half dollar, would you mind giving me your thoughts on them?

    Yep, I'm afraid that one took a hit and looks like it got a little corrosion there, too. But I can see why it might catch your attention, the way the "6" in the date got affected.

    Bring 'em on!

    btw: care to share how you captured such a clear image of the date on that Lincoln cent?

    Indeed. That Lincoln in the OP might only be worth one cent, but that was a great photo!

    They sell these external camera lenses for your phone at rite aid for 10 bucks and they work amazingly. Be sure to get one with a "Macro" lense.

    Cool.

    You know, you can opt to post your attachments here as full sized pictures rather than thumbnails.
