Interesting observation zarboy. I'm thinking that the planchet is stained. With what, beats me. Thanks for the comments everyone :)

Wow!
How does something like that get through quality control and leave the mint?

Considering my experience, in being able to easily obtain very obviously miss struck US base metal coinage for not much money, it must be that quality control is based on strictly non human methods.
The adoption such quality control methods must be pragmatic, considering the huge numbers of coins, particularly pennies, that need to be struck.
Such coins, by my observations at least, seem to be fairly common.

The first one looks like an indent. The second one is definitely an off center.

Pressed against the collar/planchet not leaving devices. Just an indent.

Just to understand, for it to be considered an OC, it must show devices? It would not be classified as an OC otherwise?
Thanks coop!

Thanks for your input as always coop ;-)
Just one more observation. Those indent errors only show the impression on one side of the coin. The first Lincoln I posted, shows the strike on both sides, similar to the second Lincoln but without devices.

On that one I think the collar/edge of the die may have affected it. They see to be unequal on both sides. Kind of a tiddly wink affect. Probably popped into the bin. LOL
