I find coins all the time with errors, ect... but damage appears as well.I have a dime with some flaws on the reverse.I know for sure the dime has some flaws that are considerd errors, yet the fact that it has been circulated, I see scratches, ect. Yesterday I found a penny that looks to have some flaws. I got all excited. Looking at the "d" in god, the "e" in we and the "t" in trust, I can clearly see the extra lines at the top of the letters. Funny though, there was what appeard to be a little stain....dirt or whatever in front the nose. I decided to get a little soap and water to clean it off so that I could look at a clean penny and make sure what I was looking at was correct, also to scan it on to the laptop. I pressed a little hard, called myself trying to shine it up, and when I looked again, I had a nice hole where the stain was
I can't win for loosing I guess, I'm wondering how or why my penny caved in on me when all I did was shine it with soap and water? now I come to question what I'm looking at with the lines above the letters.

, it would be very helpful if you could post a photo with the coin in question.
