I think it's called indirect die transfer (ghosting). Usually more noticeable on Unc. coins.

Right, "ghosting", the perfect description.

Oh cool, got myself another error coin then, even if it's common, first one I've found, I've looked through around 700 wheaties so far.
This a keeper? I know it doesn't have any premium but still.

No premium that I know of, but this is not my field.  |

Just know what causes it is the premium for this coin. You can see this on many coin denominations:    Just a die that is getting nearer to retirement. |

@DS, I don't think that there is a real numismatic premium for the die transfer, but you certainly could keep it in a 2x2 as an exemplar for your collection.

...got myself another error coin then... I don't want to open a can if worms, but I wouldn't call that an error. It's a natural and common form of Die Deterioration that falls within the acceptable tolerances of the Mint. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I refer to die aging, polishing, die contact mark and damage as "die events ". Some extreme events are collected, but I don't consider them varieties or mint errors. Just events all dies go through as they age and events happen to the die seen on coins that are struck.
