Your "clear see through Cud type anomaly" is almost certainly glue. |

Definitely glue or some clear substance applied to the coin, another coin pressed into it and then the gunk hardened. If it is a water based glue and extened soak in water should cause it to become milky in color and come off. If it isn't water based a soak in acetone may remove it. If it is an epoxy based adhesive then it may be there for good. Or a liquid nitrogen immersion may cause it to pop off due to differing thermal expansion and contraction rates.

so socked it in water and it didnt come off, also in acetone and got the same result. "hypothetically speaking", lets say it happens to be a genuine error, what variety would this coin be categorized as?

Its 100% not an error, as such it cannot be categorized. just glue.

My understanding is that there is no possible way that such an error could happen in the minting process. So hypothetically speaking if it was a genuine mint error, it would have to be a new unheard of error.

and also conder101 I was thinking about your thought on another coin being pressed against the see through anomaly. if it was so, I thought, maybe I would feel some kind of texture on it. thinking that I would feel as if the motto would be indented into the anomaly, it happened to be that the surface is smooth, almost as if it was stamped on the other side of the anomoly. really weird. please let me know what your oppinions are. Again thank you for taking the time to help me out

Here is a coin that was squeezed in a vise transferring the other coins devices onto this coin. (this one was sold on ebay. I sent a note to the seller, he did not respond)  |

To demonstrate, I Took the liberty of placing two Lincoln Cents into a clamp in the configuration that your coin seems to have been placed. I tightened the clamp with little force other than my hand and got this See below, Technical issues prevented the picture from appearing in its proper place. While not as extreme as yours, it shows how this type of damage happens. To all you that are worried, I will not release this error coin nor the other I used to press with into circulation. I don't want to cause any other people the excitement-let down sequence. So there, you have my 2 cents.  |

If they have a coin with a foreign substance on it they can compare. It's all a learning process.
