@aussie1984, the damage on Lincoln's shoulder on the obv is directly opposite to the flattened letter O on the rev, right? That doesn't look like an error at all to me--just PMD. It should have a small value above face due to it being a Wheat cent. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

 It looks like PMD to me. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

It's either a strike through or a minor case of PMD. |

That could be a lamination error on the shoulder, hard to tell from the pictures. Other than that, I don't see anything out of the ordinary.  |

I'd guess it is a counterstamp.

Lamination error on torso. Even though it's gotta lamination I would say the condition would make it worth a penny still

Just looks to me like two letter in somewhat symmetrical boxes with rounded corners. Like an R D or similar. Very similar to a typical lamination, but this just looks counterstamped to me and the damage on the reverse seems to match. Just a guess and not too much to work with from the photos but...  |
