The 1935 cent looks like a lamination error on the planchet, that peeled after the strike. How do I know it fell off after the strike? (drumroll please) Do you see the ghost images under the area where the lamination happened? That tells me it peel off after the strike. The 1916 looks like the coin was damaged. How? I don't know... But it didn't happen at the mint. It was altered after it left the mint. (nothing in the minting process could create that on a coin)

Hey coop, I knew this was going to happen - but what is up with the first 1958 LWC that the OP posted - do you think it is an IDB?

The 58D looks like IDB-1958D-02, on COC under the chin. The head looks like glue.

Yeah I think you may be right Cujohn - we need a more better image of the underneath part of the chin where it is shadowed to make more of a confirmation. That left side of the IDB is looking different right now.

It looks like a struck through a piece of scrap on the OBV. Note the first page images of the full reverse. You can see the edges of the struck through better on them. About his 5th post from the first image.

This is the best I could do. But it will give you look under the chin.

It does look like a die chip under the jaw, but I see a struck through on the bust. A layer of scrap flattened on the bust:  The weight might be slightly heavier for this coin if you can weigh it?

I didn't even see that until coop pointed it out, I was just focused on the IDB - goes to show that I need to always look at the whole coin - another learning experience :)

Thanks Coop. That picture with Misfit coin and pointing to locations defining this find made me feel great seeing it. Much appreciated. Thanks to everyone. One more question: should this be sent in for grading and further evaluation? Oops 2-questions: 2:if not is there someone I can send it to to study it then send me back a report? All new to me this grading process.

I still think it's glue. Look at the neck, Air is under the glue that's why it's a different color. Give it a acetone bath before you send it in, just to see.

I see no need to send it in. The coin would have to be worth over $100 before I would send it in.
