By the way it looks I thought I would be able to feel the cracks but I can't so I think it's a lamination error.   |

Looks like PMD to me. Heat or acid of some sort. John1  |

It is coated with something, probably glue.

Weigh it and/or give it an acetone bath.

Thanks for getting the weight.
I don't think it is a lamination error. You can search this site for examples of that type of error.
On the reverse, under the CA of AMERICA, is that glob raised or incuse?

On a Zincoln? I agree with folks here: PMD. I can't see how lamination errors can occur on plated zinc. Seems the plating is too thin to have lamination issues. |

Just my opinion but looks a lot like glue note the bubble in the bottom left obverse. Most people say don't mess with it but I would pick it right off lol to see. You can always hold it on edge and see if it is raised and if it had a translucent kind of texture/veiw. I run across adhesive on coins all the time

I don't know much but where the cracks/wrinkles are you can't feel it. Only the lettering, building and lincoln are raised. I ran my finger nail across this when I first saw this and thought it was strange not to feel none of the cracks.

Soak it in acetone for about 10 minutes, it will come off.

Look here,read coops post https://goccf.com/t/191628I though I read somewhere that zincolns can have lamentations,it has to do with the zinc blank having the lam and the copper plated makes it a bit difficult to tell. The more I look at the op pics I do think it is some kind of adhesive. John1 Edited by John1

 Epoxy, glue or resin of some sort. |

So the substrate has a lamination issue and it 'manifests' in the upper plating. Interesting. I'd like so section a specimen like that to have a look.
I agree with the others. Acetone to remove any glue or whatever to see if the plating is affected.

Snatched, if you don't have any acetone around, just put the cent somewhere safe until you can give it a soak -- which you should do outdoors.
If the coin appears to be the same after an acetone soak, then you can send it CONECA for examination ($5).
I'm not surprised that you cannot feel any of the cracks regardless of what caused them, or the glue, if that's what it is. I think what you're looking at is smaller than most needles, and nowhere near as sharp.
