These pics cannot all be of the same coin.
Please edit or correct this thread.

this is all the same coin. I am using a high powered coin microscope. maybe the light is too bright. I can post a video of the coin if that would help to prove its the same coin

 to the CCF, LuckyPenny83! It looks like you have a minor " Struck Through Grease" error. There is very little numismatic premium associated with one so slight.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Pics 2 and 5 are surely not the same coin, or if they are, then they're pretty lousy pics for comparison.

they could be bad for comparison. (Im learning how to use the new microscope) I'll retake those and post here again. Grease was what I thought on the letters. But I was also interested in what looks like three levels on the side of the building (doubling?)

Your cent would make a good album hole filler until better comes along. The weakness in the reverse strike (STATES) is often due to insufficient metal to fill both obverse and reverse detail when the coin is struck.. This is not uncommon in 'early' zinc core cents. In my opinion, the coin isn't be a good candidate for submission for grading.

 to CCF. @Luckypenny: Your images are just fine, maybe next time post them a bit larger so they are easier to see. But Ijn, just covered what I was going to say - that the obverse design elements are to blame for the weak strike of the reverse. The first clue to this is that the very top of the letters on the reverse are struck up normally , and this is because that that area fall into the 'groove' of the obverse (between the rim and the bottom of the Bust of Lincoln).
