1946s cent, extra copper or cud?

thought it was a scratch or a chip till I looked closer.

To me, the obverse looks like glue or paint got on it and dried, which would = ENVIRO DAM (Environmental Damage).
The reverse looks like it took some kind of hit and is starting to show zinc rot which would = DEFDAM (Definitely Damaged).

One thing is absolutely sure, they are NOT mint errors.

Those are just my opinions. Other, more informed members, will give theirs.

In the mean time I want to thank you for posting your pix and questions and I want to say Welcome to Coin Talk !!

 

It wouldn't be zinc rot on a wheat cent. Definitely agree on the glue, paint, goop or whatever on the obverse. Might be a spot of corrosion on the reverse, or even a spot of solder.

 

Looks like a fuse box job to finish the toast

 

You're absolutely right about the zinc. My apologies. I was in a hurry, and not paying good enough attention.

 

It does look a little burnt around that spot, doesn't it?

 

so sorry guys i found out it was something like a glue but caused further damage proving that thanks for your help
