    Can anyone explain to me how alot of one cent coins seem to have letters and numbers in alot of places they shouldn't be. Like I have a 1970 s that had two letters, P and D in Lincoln's face and other coins that has similar marks.

    I'm not trying to be smart. How can we tell you what may have happened without seeing the coins?

    What's the word folks? Pareidolia? Never knew the word existed until here.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Really can't tell you anything unless you show us what you're looking at.

    A lot of times, these things are in your mind - your mind sees what it wants to see, because your brain is trying to make patterns.

    Truly, if you can post some pictures of what you’re talking about, many skilled folks will give you solid help.

    On his car? I'm not so certain ole Abe was familiar with the automobile, nor do I recall seeing one on the type.

    Unfortunately, the photos are simply not of a sufficient quality for them to be of any use, but I understand that imaging coins can be difficult for those new to doing so. Perhaps try to secure the camera or phone by somehow propping it up and try to allow it to focus. If a camera, try pressing the shutter release part way, or if a touchscreen phone, try tapping the screen where you wish it to focus. Basic suggestions, yes, but if you wish to share the type of camera you're using, perhaps more assistance can be offered.

    You are probably not looking for this answer but, the photos are impossible to tell anything by. And what does show is simply environmental damage at this point. Honest answer.

    I definitely believe you I'm just I don't understand how so many coins and get these letters and numbers on them and just be environmental and environmental damage I don't know how is be coming this way because I mean if it's just when you know where they wouldn't come up to me perfect letters like these and and or numbers you know like 4 and 6 I don't know if it's something intentionally or it means something by accident I'm just been curious about it you know what the problem was
