This may be strike 3 for me. I've been searching for something that would actually be considered an error coin. Sadly this comes on a 2023 penny, but interested in whether this is keeper or spender. I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but I'm beginning to see things that I never would have noticed, so maybe it's all good.   |

We do see lathe lines on coins every once in a while, but I wonder if this isn't a fingerprint instead.

Sorry, the picture isn't great. Guess I need to work on camera skills if I'm going to continue this hobby. Does this help?  |

Hope this picture is clearer. Right now it's just trial and error for me.  |

It's a fingerprint unfortunately.
Errers and Varietys.

Lathe lines would be concentric, these are not. Fingerprints for sure.

Every day another little nugget of information. I may learn a little bit... before I get to age 100.
