I have a 1962 D Penny, that looks to have a flaw on the reverse side in the top left corner of the Lincoln memorial building. Any idea where I could find more info? Sorry for my ignorance, new to this and curious ;)

I'm just guessing, but it looks like a hit to the top of the Memorial, causing metal to "peel" and form the anomaly we're seeing. That's why everyone is asking for clearer images of the area.

I agree, with PSD, considering the damage on obverse around the same parameter of the reverse area in question it seems to me that the coin was jammed in between some kind of device's slot and was pushed to cause the scraping of the metal and rolling it up!
