    The more I looked at this cent, the more I noticed going on here.

    For example, the prominent N-S line on the obverse seems to end at Lincoln’s ear, but then I noticed a little chunk of metal missing from the forehead.

    And the line seems to reappear to form a point ending half-way between the head and the rim.

    Then I noticed on the reverse a fainter
    Line.

    Also, the bottom of the obverse line that hits the rim...

    ...ends in basically the same spot as this disruption of the metal on the reverse:

    I’d love to hear some input on this one.

    Yes to Lamination Type Mint Error.
    I see a Lamination Crack and a Delamination on the head for the Obverse.
    Normal lamination on the Reverse.
    Common on many wheat Cents.

    The coin is circulated, but in reference to the areas you point to I would say a peeling lamination for sure. Not pmd.
