I have this us 1996 Lincoln Memorial penny with a blurry outline of Lincolns outline over the 1996 date. Its difficult to read the date because of it. If looked at closely, some details such has Lincoln's ear can be seen in the outline of Lincoln that covers the date. Not clear enough to tell thats what it is unless you know thats what you are looking at. Took me a little bit to figure it out personally. Can anyone explain what type of error this is and if it's a rare find/possibly has any value or if its common/not of any extra value then face value. Thanks in advance for your guys help!

For the moment, I'm thinking strike-through.

Incuse. What's the significant of the 2. Like what type of error would you think it was if it had been raised rather than incuse? also does anyone know if this would be considered rare/or have any real value? Thanks in advance!!

If it had been raised, then it would probably been glue or some like substance on the surface.
Being incuse, it is a Struck Through, in this case probably grease.
Not rare and does not have too much value.

Looks like struck through something. To my eye it's simply a random shape. If you are 'seeing' pieces of Lincoln in that blob then click the hyperlink for Pareidolia.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art
