I see a common coin ... perhaps AU/MS RB based on the blurry photos provided.

You have been posting a lot of threads asking for help with your 'unique' coins ... which are in fact common.

We are pleased to have members of all knowledge levels here with us ... and as such our patience runs long to support the newbies.

Just be mindful ... your own education is necessary in order to grow as a collector ... in that spirit I suggest you endeavor to more on the learning front than simply relying upon the CCF experts to continue to tell you your unique coins are in fact 'common'

What are you seeing that makes you think this coin is unique?

We need better pics and while I don't mind giving the coin a good look -- I don't much care to try to guess what you're posting about.

Honestly, it's a terrible photo of an ordinary coin.
Please consider posting ONE thread and learning from it instead of blasting the same question again and again.

I replied to a couple other of your posts, hope you read those comments as well. I'm a new member myself but have collected on/off for decades and read voraciously about coins, always more to learn and no one of us knows everything. This penny, from what can be seen (in bad focus), doesn't appear to be an error coin, just a standard, albeit, mint state coin. Try asking CCF'ers about what you think is the specific error. I'm gonna guess it's one of these two, the motto is right on the edge, or the Memorial has a dimple in it? High speed machining and after mint damages are most likely. try to get better , clearer pictures to post, get a device[ made to get closeups.

Good eyes, dollarman. I missed that -- I thought he was just talking about the possible Struck Through Grease on the bottom of the memorial.

Shaggy, it would help if you could post clearer pictures. I've seen some of your threads, and they all have blurry pictures. If you are using a phone, try shooting from further away so you can focus clearly on the coin. You can then crop it afterwards. Alternatively, you can try to change you camera settings. Instead of autofocus, use your macro setting. This is indicated with a tulip icon.

For sharper pictures experiment with a magnifying glass in front of your camera lense.

While it's always exciting finding a coin this old in red, it's pretty common. The coin appears as nothing special really, it's just a low-end AU to MS-62 coin. Generally, these early Memorial cents are not collectible until you get into the MS-65+ grades as they are readily available in the higher grades.

As an example, here is a shot of mine:
