I'm still a newby, I'm cashier at a thrift store for over 6 years and Ive collected alot of wheats, silver coins, and alot of weird looking coins,I have been especially looking close to errors. I really appreciate a site like this, I find it is very educational!
On the reverse of this wheat the right wheat side, is this metal a Cud error? Also there are squiggly raised lines on Lincolns top left head, not sure what it is? I'll submit some pics.

Welcome to this great family of coin lovers. Very nice coin.
I love going through the 40's and 50's because of all the cool finds with Die cracks, chips and especially the lamination errors - you get to see some pretty funky ones.
I have only been doing this for a few months and it is a lot of fun, and the members here are very supportive and they are "The Best". They know their stuff and the try to teach you along the way.

On the reverse it's a die chip and on the obverse a lot of die cracks.

Thank you! You all are so helpful:)
Here's another close up of the hunk of metal by the wheat, what is this called, a Cud?

As john said its a die chip-cud would involve the rim a Retained Cud would have displacement of some sort and the crack itself would extend rim to rim

Welcome to CCF.

Here is a link to the Cuds-on-Coin site.

http://cuds-on-coins.com/

For it to be a Cud it always involves the rim.

Definition: A Cud is a die break that involves the rim and at least a little bit of the adjacent field or design. The vast majority of sizable die breaks are Cuds. Cuds can assume a wide variety of shapes including ovoid, crescentic, and irregular. Most Cuds represent spontaneous brittle failure. A small minority arise as the result of impacts. No part of a design element will show on a Cud.

Cashier at a thrift store? Gosh, everyone on CCF has jobs that I should work at. Not only would I get in a variety of coins but I would also probably get some good scores from a thrift store.


Die cracks, btw.
