That anomaly on Abe's back is odd. Is it possible that it is something stuck on the coin surface? As to the wheat stalk "T" that could be many things. If it isn't damage, it may be a dropped letter.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Its not something on the coin, it's definitely in it but I can't find anything at all about it and the t looks like a possible dropped letter to me but I'm not even close to an expert so I definitely could use some help

And the T looks to be for sure the letter T and not just damage

The back of the neck is possibly glue.
The T on the wheat stalk may be a dropped letter. It looks close to one of the T's in UNITED STATES

The markings in his shoulder or back isn't anything on the penny like glue or any other substance, in the pic it may appear that way but under the naked eye I can see it's part of the penny like the rest of it just like the letters and Lincoln is.. and I agree with you on the T and if it is a dropped letter is there any value? And the marks on Lincoln, would that be considered an error and if so any value also?

Soak it in some acetone, see if it disappears.

To me it looks like a struck through that slow fell off the coin in vertical layers? I haven't seen this before. Is the area in question below the surface of the fields and bust area? If so that maybe the cause. If it is level with the fields and bust, it may have been something like a sticker on this area, that peeled off the coin? Just hard to say from the images provided. Images with rotating the coin 90 degrees might show us more?

And I apologize bit yes, it appears to be below the surface. Looks like it's definitely part of the coin

Again I apologize, it's a 1948 and not a 46

So if they are incuse, then they maybe a struck through debris or intentional damage with something very small and rounded. (too small to be from a ball point pen) Ball point pen would be this wide:  |

And how about the T in the wheat stalk and if whatever that is on is back/shoulder is struck through then would it be a form of an error or?

And if it is something that's been intentionally done it's definitely from someone that's darn good cause those lines are straight..
