Hello, got this in my pocket change the other day. That is one shiny penny. Not too bad for a 46 year old penny. I think my math is right on that one. Upon closer inspection, I notice what looks like part of the Memorial Building behind Lincolns head and neck. And on the reverse looks like a possible grease error. Just wondering what the experts think. Thank you for all your shared knowledge.

Looks to me like a nice die clash on the obverse.

Nice Die Clash! The reverse looks weakly struck.

Thank you everyone. Everyday yearning and learning.

That is immediately what comes to mind when I find coins like this.
I can see some dollar coins and half dollars getting spent out of a collection. Even quarters. But penny's?

I like it!

Here's a Clash Overlay for the Lincoln Memorial cent. It shows about where you can expect to find clash marks on a LMC with no rotation.

Congrats on the clashed cent.

These tend to make it back in circulation by a relative (kid?) pilfering for ice cream $ or a relative with no interest in numismatics disposing of a collection at a bank after some one has passed.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
