@dougsmit is pretty well versed in ancient minting errors if I'm not mistaken. I'd like to hear what he has to say, if anything, on this coin....
But are you talking about cleaning modern or ancient coins? If you are using an eraser to clean modern coins...that's a big no-no.

I’m curious, are you speaking to ancient or modern coins woth regards to cleaning them with an eraser?
Wow. Just wow. Maybe you should get educated @paddyman98 ;) This is why I like the ancients section. They are way friendlier and you don't have to...
I’m very well educated, thank you. :)
I clearly am uneducated and don’t know what I am talking about. I need more arrows to show me what a fool I am.
Your coin is pretty well circulated. Not luster. For future reference, it really does help to take pictures of your coins out of whatever holder...
"artistic licence" ;)
The only shiny "luster" I see is the plastic bag it is in...take it out of the bag next time ;)

Could use more arrows...
Please do. And be sure to add more arrows. Maybe circle the doubling/tripling. Really help to emphasize what you are trying to show.
Tilt it a quarter-ish turn counter clockwise and it looks like a rooster :D
1 cent. What you have there is a linear plating blister. Fairly common on Zincolns.
What does it weigh? It looks very porous like it was in the ground for quite awhile. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces35066.html
Whelp, looks like you are another one of those. Sorry you don't have what you think you have. You clearly don't know what YOU are talking about....
The odds are "zero". Your coins are neither doubled nor tripled.
I can see it.
