is this a low spot? or whatever it's called?

Im new to this. so here's my first and probably not my last.
i spotted this with the naked eye. but i used my loop for a better pic. its more noticable at an angle.
im sure its nothing. but was curious what this would be called.

an "error"?

the S of States and the o from oF

"loupe"

 

loupe is the french word for magnifier
but that was not the OP's question

 

lol! i dont know why i didnt catch that. i surely know it's spelled loupe. i have no clue what i was thinking by typing loop.

i think i'll blame it on... it was a late...?

 

You were thinking about downtown Chicago.

 

Probably struck through grease.

 

I would agree with possible struck through grease.

 

that sounds interesting. i will have to read up on the process of striking coins.

so would this coin be worth holding on to? i would imagine so since its only a penny. but just curious if this should be a keeper.

thanks for all the help though.

edit: just did a bit of reading. they seem fairly common. but for a penny, ill keep it.

 

From what I've heard, and been told, that is the most common area, obverse and reverse, that has weakness on the penny.

Not worth more than 1 cent, however good eye! Keep it up and you'll find something awesome!
