    Welcome to Coin Talk, Sherifeust. I am not seeing any type of errors on your coin.
    The inperfections I do see are really quite normal things for a business strikes.
    surface lines are from when dies are cleaned off with abrasives. If you have not seen it before here is a link with info on things to look for.http://www.error-ref.com/

    The weak area around the "S" is strike related. If you look on the obverse immediately opposite this area, you'll see Lincoln's shoulder. That area needs a lot of metal to flow into it so there isn't much to fill the letters if the striking pressure isn't high. You'll see this a lot on cents. The lines in the field above the memorial look raised in your pic. If they are, then they're due to die polish. If you look hard you may see some light remnants of clashing on the rev. Try looking between the pillars. Technically, the die scratches would be a mint induced defect, but adds no value.

    Thank you and I appreciate your help. I was talking about the top of the letters in the first pictire, in the third i was talking about the s. Also that there is an extra period, and that some on the impressions go uniformally through other letters.

    The top of letters have what is know as "Machine Doubling" The "S" has this too.
    Some think that low pressure strikes allow the die to bounce during the strike causing this type of Doubling.
