I think it's a plating bubble, very common on the zinc cents, though I could be wrong. I think if it was a die scratch the marking would go behind Abe rather then over top of him, I'm not sure if a doubled die can show like this but maybe ill wait for someone else to chime in, I'm not great at spotting doubled dies.

Most likely a small die chip.  |

Would be a strange looking die chip but possible I assume. Die chip would be rough looking on the edges, a plating bubble would look smooth. I can't tell from the photos.

Not all die chips are rough, just as they are not all smooth. Die chips come in all favours. To me, too linear and thick to be a plating bubble, but they vary a lot too. Maybe you are right, Wrekkdd. I agree, a closer photo might help. |

Or a gas bubble? Hard to tell from the images provided. Toothpick test?

I found it, gave it an acetone bath and brushed with a soft toothbrush, now its not the same so must have been something else I dunno. Sorry for the waste of time it looked interesting to me before I cleaned it.   |

We reply for the sake of the hobby and to help other. As many have told me there is no dumb questions, even the experts here are still learning. It's an ever growing hobby and research is a huge part of it. I personally enjoy commenting on peoples finds, weather it's worth 1¢ or 1000$ it's not my coin so to give my 2¢ about something is enjoyable. If you learn something then it's a win:). Keep trying and everyone will do there best to help.
I have much to learn becoming an expert numismatic is like going to university for 4 years lol. So much info and counter info etc.

Thankyou @ Wrekkedd! I appreciate it, I am learning something new here everday, with everyone who posts questions and the responses and information provided! I just do not want to aggravate or waste peoples time. Thought I had a little something that turned out not to be, but as you stated, I learned from it as well as my other somethings that turned out not to be! But I enjoy looking and who knows, one day I may find something! (or not) I still enjoy the coins and looking! Thanks again!

People choose to be on the forum, there is people who won't even comment on my posts any more lol.
I enjoy the hobby and don't need anyone to tell me that I have passion or don't. If people get annoyed and stop replying there will still be others that will help you with any questions. All that is ever asked of us is to learn and research and enjoy the hobby:). This hobby has helped me in many ways(none of them financially)-_- but that's not why I got into it. I hope to see some more questions and posts from you. Just keep researching:) coop's home page is a great place to start(I prefer visual learning to instructional learning so coop is awesome at combining the two)

Thanks again, I have been researching and trying yo understand, I can spot things like cracks and the most common things (well except for this mistake on something that seemed very simple lol) but still trying to understand all the different doubling, alot of information and I am more hands on type so It is hard for me to apply what I read on it, but I will keep trying. I never realized how complicated the whole process concerning coins is, but I definitely have a greater respect for it in just the few weeks I have been trying to learn about it! Now I am fascinated about it! I will keep posting things of interest or questions, Thankyou, I appreciate your response!

It was something on the coin that went away. This happens.

I think we have all been there, I though I had an error that turned out to be glue on a coin:p or some kind of adhesive. I swore it looked incuse but after a physical check turned out to be glue(That was only a couple months ago).
Lighting can play huge tricks and even without that issue a good find to one might be a normal find to another. I think after looking through tens of thousands of coins it starts to become easier and even then you may find things that don't turn out to be anything. If you keep researched and looking at coins you will find something I am sure:). Might be in a day, maybe a month, or even a year. There is so many coins out there, curiosity and questions help everyone learn:).
