Thank you for that new photo.

I do not know maybe I'm wrong.
But the original photo at least from what I can tell is the coin with a piece of the rim still intact. And the other photo is a photo with that piece removed.
It is the same coin one photo has a piece of metal and one has it removed

That is my opinion but as you know the older you get the more of you that starts falling apart and eyesight is one of them.
That is my opinion and I'm gonna stick with it.

Notice how in the bottom photo, which is the second photo the member is showing.
The arrow indicates were that metal overlaps. Then you have the other photo that is different and does not show any overlap.

This is what I'm basing my opinion on.

The third side is the out side flat edge of the rim. And I’m Sorry but it what I THINK, just me, that these are peeled out areas. If you notice both affected areas exhibit their damage in the same direction. It looks as if the coin was rotating counterclockwise when the damage occurred. KEEP LOOKING you’ll find nice stuff! Please these are just my thoughts in no way am I am expert. I’ve just seen millions of Lincolns over he years and it’s what I think.

 

Thank's for flipping my image to the right angle for viewing! I believe the latest image I took shows the best angle to represent what I see through the loop. I understand what you are saying, and see the frustration in the two images. But, it is the same coin though, just with different angles and lighting.

 

Well you have the coin in hand I don't. I can only go what I visually see,
that's why I do not suggest you inspect your coins with any kind of a camera.
Because you get optical delusions.

It is still a nice conversation piece, I have a nice oddities collection.
That's where I put coins like this in.

It's only one cent, far as I know that won't buy you anything today.
Not like the old days where you could at least get a piece of gum. LOL

Here's your photo, lightened up to show a little more detail.
Not flipped

 

That looks nice now. Better close up. So strange how that peel out is so low inside the rim. What ever grabbed that peel out almost hit the field too. Look at the rim further down from the start of the peel, see the small rim dings and what I would describe as diagonal lines maybe strike up flow marks? The coin metal of the planchet has to basically flow like thik hot liquid for a fraction of a second. All kinds of things happen during that fraction of a second and I think this coin got a crumbly edge that stuck out just enough for the rolling machine to catch and chew on. Just my theory no training here just 45 years of eyes on Lincolns.
What I meant about flow also I do belive that the plating can flow and build up also on the rim just ever so slightly. I believe that’s why there is no zinc uncovered by the peel

 

I really think you'll like this next one.
You could actually see after it was cut and like you said the machine picked it up and actually Bennett off the rim this shows the signs.

 

Again it’s just MY uneducated theory.
I still wonder why we don’t see some zinc though I would think we would.
Mystery! These are better pics for sure

 

I also like the zeke filter you can actually see the hit line clearer.
I like the way those filters shows in a different perspective.

 

Yea you can now see what I thought it would look like, the diagonal lines are raised wrinkles on the inside ot the rim I’ll bet!
