Sorry, no prizes 
I am going to be posting micrographs of anything that can be found on coins. Some will be easy and some will not. The correct answer is whatever I say it is 
but feel free to disagree (giving your reason) so all of us can discuss it. Images will be posted in this thread at my discretion - several each week. I will usually post the answers late the next day after the quiz was posted.
In order to make this FUN for beginners. I'll ask the "experts" to PLEASE not guess what any of the images are until the next day. Otherwise, folks like (fill in the blank) will get all of them immediately - That's NO FUN. If no correct answer is given by the next day, the "experts" should PLEASE respond. The answer for each image will usually be posted in the afternoon when I add another image.
The Rules:
1.Anyone can guess. That's because even an incorrect guess can open further discussion as to why it is incorrect.
2.The BEST guess is in two parts:
A. What characteristic the image shows.
B. What did you see in the image that led to your guess.
The Question: What kind of residue is on the wheat stalk of this cent?

Are you sure you want to refer to that as "residue"?
He's trying to throw us off.
I'll refrain from answering but this is one of the easiest quizzes so far IMO.

Looks to me as if two different things are going on there...
Tell us the two things tomorrow.
Lamination and die chips?
Die cracks and chips (cud?)
Die crack and die chips is too obvious (so it’s probably wrong). So, adding strike through something
Delamination and a cud?
Die chips! That sounds like a battle cry in a war against casinos or potato and corn snacks.

I do believe CUD is found on a rim, and a die chip the same idea but does not touch rim.

Wheat and Chips (Vegan Fish and Chips)
Looks like a die crack with die chips along the edge of the crack.

@PerryHall + others said: "Looks like a die crack with die chips along the edge of the crack."
Possibly, too easy and I DID try to throw you off. The die broke and eventually a small chunk in the middle of the stalk fell out. That allowed planchet metal to fill the void leaving a jagged raised lump. There is no lamination in this image.
I think in that context it would be: "Die, chips!"
