Just came across this and not sure what this would be considered. Before everyone says, “oh, Thats garbage, gunk, trash etc.,” know for a fact that’s it’s not. I took my fingernail and try to move it, and as you see, it scratched it. This was certainly stamped into the 9 and the “R”. The “R” looks doubled, with a bulge/bump in the center. what causes it? Die Deterioration, foreign object, etc?
Your coin is the large date variety. I'm thinking die chips, but the small date variety was the one known for die chips on the date. That's why they modified the date. So IDK, maybe somebody with more expertise can chime in.
That is certainly interesting. I set it off to the side to see where this leads. Thanks for the insight.
I’m aware no fingernails, but at first glance, I thought it was gunk. Should’ve used a q-tip, I know. are die chips worth holding onto, or just another issue/damage variety such as die deterioration doubling?
Check this out - Lincoln Cent Die Breaks Called “BIE” : Cuds on Coins (cuds-on-coins.com) I didn't see a match on a quick look, but do a check. It might be listed.
Only thing I saw was on the “L” in liberty against the rim, and a hairline split at the top of the head, through the hair.
Looks like a bunch of grime between the letters. You'll note that the L and B for this ODV appear larger than the rest of the letters in LIBERTY. A 60s cent.

My reference to “garbage” was not of the coin, but the build-up of debris's. Lol. Not getting frustrated at all. I laugh. I’m am curious to know if this would be a mint error though.
You'll see this often enough when you CRH. Probably a pair of diagonal cutter marks. Add in a few well placed strikes on the rim, you have a Canadian cent of sorts.
Haha haha okay. Thanks. I haven’t broken into the two boxes of pennies and one box of nickels I got today, yet. Maybe tomorrow.
This one looks a bit corroded (signs of damage to the copper). It may have spent some time in a cup holder in a car.
