Hello Oldschool57 Welcome to CoinTalk! Unfortunately both your Pennies are not Die errors. What you are seeing is circulation damage. We call it PMD - Post Mint Damage. I call it DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged coins Mr. Ed - Specializing in collecting Mint Errors since 1985.
DEFDAM 0 - Code Green - you have yourself a circulated coin there chappie . . . . DEFDAM 1 - Code Yellow - scrapes and abrasions, but we can tell what it is . . . . DEFDAM 2 - Code Orange - we've got a dryer coin here folks, borderline parking lot. DEFDAM 3 - Code Red - major road rash, hard to identify country of origin . . . . . DEFDAM 4 - Code Black - are you sure this is / was a coin . . . . . . Coin #1 is a DEFDAM 3.6 Coin #2 is a solid DEFDAM 3.0 Z
Thank You for the Bubble burst,I had found them in a big coffee can and it's right at the top,and it has a lot of old wheat pennies dating back to 1913 I think that's the date on it,ok I think I have wasted enough of Y'alls time I do appreciate it and thank y'all for taking me in to CT.✌️
