How rare are these errors, you said before "thanks for posting this. I knew coin would eventually show up"
Meaning we were just waiting to see it on a more modern coin

I agree this is most likely grease filling the rim gutter.
Are all of the examples you have found the same exact size and shape?
The reason I ask is that even though it's probably grease, I'm wondering if some metal might be clogging the rim gutter? (Grease would lose its shape easier as it gets pressed out the seam where the rim gutter on the die meets the collar die.)
IMHO, Grease tends to be pressed out of the rim gutter fairly quickly by successive strikes. Interior devices with grease clogging the recesses probably retain the grease longer.

Pete and coop here's one from a friend on Facebook. This is also a 2022 penny. His is a little higher up and it is shorter then mine. Hard to see in the be full reverse pic but the close ups you can see it. The top of the anomaly looks good but towards the bottom it's throwing me off bc it doesn't resemble how mine looks. The top of the anomaly looks good again no rim and flush with the fields of the coin but the bottom is odd seems to have take a hit therr.  |

If they all are identical, the I would say that this is a die event - maybe that, that part o the rim didn't get carved out of the die and not leaving a recess for the rim to properly form.

Dearborn may have a good point.
I'm not sure but believe that the rim gutter is the last thing formed on the die. If the machinery cutting/forming the rim gutter (a vertical lathe?) doesn't complete the full 360 degree circle for some reason, it might create this effect.
Is anyone here familiar with what machinery is used to create the rim gutter on the dies?

I'm not to convinced on the second pic I posted from the guy on Facebook but if it is the anomaly interesting don't how it would've occurred.

If they are the same year, it is probably from the same die?

Yea they are from the same year 2022 but how could it be in a different spot then ? And the same effect?

Unless it is something wrong on the collar. But if it were a break off on the collar, it would be raised? Or the collar rotated? Or happened on two different dies from the same year? Let's have Mike look at this?

As others have said, an interruption of the design rim would indicate something obstructing the die's rim gutter.
