Way more of a chance of it being a Chupacabra pre-strike scratch than it being a strike thru
Wire from something go struck in with it?

Naw, still more chance of a Chupacabra than that.
An extremely rare date for a major error.
64? strike/spotting as being grade limiting
What type of error is this exactly?
Wrong on the grade.
Well, that depends on who you want to believe. The NGC description says one thing but I say they are wrong (again) and it is an entirely different error.
The NGS label says "Defective Plating" which is incorrect.
This coin is "Struck on a Damaged Planchet".
What happened is, a normal cent planchet was made just like all the others. The coin does not have defective plating.
Then, a normal cent planchet somehow got damaged Before it went into the mint press and the mint dies pressed the design into the damaged cent planchet.
I tend to agree with you...(not that my opinion carries any weight).
But the DIRT and GRIME seems to indicate someone picked a planchet up off the floor, (or in a parking lot
), and tossed it into the press feeder again.
Looks like ET is trying to grab the Lincoln Memorial.
The silver parts look bubbled up like somebody splashed hot solder across it. Planchet got stuck in the oven?
Yep....looks like copper plating removed by damage, which also affected the surface by moving metal. Cheers, RickO
Cool coin, gut was 64 but I see that's not it... 63?

Looks like a cent I once rested my soldering iron tip on
What did NGC call it?
67! Whoa Nellie!
Cool coin, but don't the spots factor into the grade and weakness on the obverse head? I'm obviously not a modern Lincoln guy.
My guess was 66
