Thank you very much! I'm obviously new to all this. And I have watched alit of videos and I still dont quite get what an error is? Bc dome machine ones r alot n dome aint? And like I got to yellow I think loudina and pa quarters and a yellow dime reverse n black obverse..and a quarter obverse looks black but in light red toned in there and obverse black. As well a 1960s nickel I cant wait to show. But all the others. Does tint n ithe stuf mean nothing? 1964 penny and the 4 is slanted like sliding to the side. Would that b an error?.... thank you do much and I'll just keep posting n maybe I'll get lucky!! Lol. (Sry bout my pic on here , I was just trying to show how my phone messes up the pics!

If you photograph a coin that doesn't look like you think it should, and post here or elsewhere asking "what's wrong with it?" You'll be looking for a new hobby before you get through 200 rolls of Lincoln cents.
Searching rolls of just one denomination for varieties and errors is a very very time consuming hobby even for those who have done it for decades. Consider a few things and when you decide where you want to focus, the absolute best question to ask isn't about any specific coin or coin variety of mint error, its "where do I start?"
If your primary interest is Lincoln Cents, varieties and errors, make yourself a variety catalogue using key dates you'll find pretty much anywhere, find and print photos of the coin varieties, bookmark resources for things like small date large date varieties and how to tell the difference, die stages and example photos, die markers, especially for repeated mint errors such as doubled die strikes, and repunched mint marks. Die markers are more or less a fingerprint left on each coin with the same noted error. You can use the resource to verify your finds. Check out doubleddie.com and don't leave until you read it all ;) You'll find a very qualified, huge source of info there and many many helpful links for more.
As for your yeller dime, I'd bet two of my own its been heated with a flame, most likely with a small butane or propane torch and cooled with any random liquid available within reach of the torch operator. My first guess would have to be cheap beer. The underlying copper begins to "melt" long before the outer clad layer, the copper oxidizes and burns while the outer clad layer just moves around and out of the way. When liquid is used to cool it the copper just washes away leaving a void. Your coin appears to be the result of intentional damage.

Innocents:  how long have you been roll searching? YOUareLoveD7: Your coin is stained by something. It could have been heat as Innovents said or by some chemical. Simply put it is damage. Spend it.
