The no mint mark thing happens on all Philly cents. That is normal.

The eyes are playing tricks on you. When you see something on a coin, then the mint figures out something when it is nothing. This happens a lot on new collectors. After a few thousands of cent your realize if is nothing like any shape of any device from the mint process and then see if could not be a hubbing issue, mint mark issue, just just something you notice on a coin. Damage can make material from the field raise in various directions. Just a normal coin with some damage.

Thanks everyone. My sister was going to steal all my pennies to go to the dollar store but I caught her just in time, whew! :D!
Seriously, I do appreciate all your help. I will be posting a few more. They're probably all PMS.

Just keep searching. You will find something if you have a good loop and keen eye for spoting what to look for.

You can always go buy some from the bank. I have had good luck with roll hunting and so have many others.
Rest in Peace

Thanks everyone. I found some more old coins. Here is one of them that I have on ebay. I have nothing to lose. I explained about it at the auction.

Linybuggy, Concerning ebay coin. You may want to search the " Cud" definition here before posting more. Cud always flows from or involves the rim. Looks more like a die chip maybe if not damage. I need a closer look. Thanks, Doug.

PS: Rookies opinion.
PSS: You may want to compare to coppercoin just in case.

I just see a die chip on the "T". Common. A Cud is a breaking off of the outside edge of a die that shows on the rim. These are desirable to collectors. A chip is common.

I think it is a mint error because I have a 1968 no mint mark. On the rim below Liberty has the same mark your Penny has. And above the C on the opposite side I see something that looks like yours, but not as noticeable.

Here is a machine doubled example on the date.

These were very common on that year.

Machine Doubling was very common on 60s cents. Not a doubled die.

Troy Meyer1, without an image I'd only be guessing. Maybe the same OP example released back into circulation. Since 2014 I see a few added comments saying they have the same or something similar, even an unrelated possible doubled die date, but In all honesty I need something to examine prior to any attempt at confirmation. Thanks, Doug.
