Last one for the night. Is this a common occurrence or is this unique? This penny was uncirculated by the looks of it, two marks happened to catch my eye on Lincoln's face. These seem like cracks or gouge marks.
Agree. Contact marks/dings acquired as the coin made its way after striking at the mint to wherever it was eventually captured and photographed. If only coins could talk, the stories they'd tell.
