I'm new to error collecting, also, but I can answer this one ... ...there is no 'inking' applied to general circulating coins ... the smudges your coin has were done after the coin left the mint... ...the penny was minted at the Philadelphia mint, & most coins from there lack a mint - mark ('P') ... exception being WWII era silver nickles, & Washington quarters ... ...Hey!...it's still worth a penny!...lol ...hope this helps ...

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 09/27/2023 09:35 am No ink has been applied to this cent (at the mint) which was produced at the Philadelphia Mint where they did not (for the most part) add mint marks on the Lincoln Cent coins. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
