I think it is just a stain. There is only a line, and no evidence of a strike variation.
Where? The shiny zinc areas that show some split plating?
Your right, 50$ bags. As for the cent above I am wondering if it might be a well disguised lamination. I still have at least another 4,000 coins...

Ed Wood must be on vacation.:D
Huh these are 1963's though?
I see your point, and missed @Dialupsux 's
Nice clash on the 83'
I will try in a few. Just getting home.
I will try to get better pics, there is no rim ding. I do see your analogy of the photo though.
I forgot to say that the open bag was 1963 Philly, The next bag I opened because I got temporarily bored was 1971D. This bag is mostly so far full...
LOL
Not a proof it has a D MM and was struck at the Denver mint. Heavily polished. Not gradable.
This came out of a 100$ mint bag. This involves the rim, but looks more like a die chip than a cud. It partially covers the U in trust. What would...
Not blank dies. This would be a late stage die cap.
These elongated cents are first struck as a US cent. Then elongated thru a rolling machine. These are not made with dies, nor are they struck one...
The US mint makes the dies for the cent. Who knows who makes the rolling machine.
That is a very clean Jeff. I vote 66 FS, but think that it could be a 67 just don't see the luster.
I really don't see any displaced metal, so could be a strike thru, just not positive.
