1969 s Lincoln penny

I found some things on this penny like e,r in America and t in cent and the memorial building stamp is uneven above columns. But help me out on what you see and if it's worth anything because of those misprints.

Except for the corrosion, you have a normal cent.
The corrosion does not add a premium to its face value.

 

Coins are struck not printed.. Paper currency is printed and have misprints.

Your Cent looks normal.

 

Welcome to CT it appears that it is a normal coin as mentioned worth 1 cent IMO

Thank you for helping me

 

How about this one and the 9 and the D are struck different

 

Copper based metals are relatively soft and the actual thickness of a letter or number projecting up is quite small, so any force such as from a coin counter's finger to even pushing against something as other coins in a pocket, can distort it from what it was right after minting, and it appears this is what happened to your looking at the wear and damage to the surfaces. They weren't minted that way, so it is PMD ( post mint damage). Jim

 

That can't be post mint see how round one nine is and the other is straight like youd write it. Things knocking against it after minting wouldn't hit it to form a straight 9.

 

If you know that it isn't post mint, then explain how it happened during the minting process.

 

It's a hit from a rolling machine, happens when the paper ends are being crimped...
