You have come to the right place!

This is not classified as an error, but appears to be circulation hits on Liberty.

One website you could check out is error-ref.com, where they showcase legitimate errors and they compare to post mint damaged coins like your 1958 cent which is average circulated. One of two things could be happening with the BER of liberty, could be a broken post on the E, or could be a tad of glue on the coin.

Picture isn't clear enough to make an accurate call - could even be a drop of some type of liquid that has dried by the way it is reflecting the light.

Saved from what? Throw that dude into a fountain while you are making a wish.
Yes, that coin is beyond help.

EDIT - Oh Crap - I should have added - "Start a new topic for a new coin" - you will be bombarded with that!
