1968 penny error help?
Hello I have a 1968 pennyto me the whole thing looks off it is darker than usual the E in we and TRU in trust are missing, Lincoln is more bold and raised and so are all the words on the front. On the back there are two little notch (I think that's what you would call them) underneath the A, one notch right above the O, one tiny little notch under the U, and on the building. I am new to this very interesting to learn I'd really like to learn all about these. If you can really help with my penny that would be really great thank you in advance I really appreciate it.

That coin has PMD, post mint damage on the edge. The coloring is from exposure to chemicals that have reacted to the copper.

I agree and this coin was more than likely in a gravel drive or on concrete and exposed to the elements and that caused the color and damage.
