Question on what I think is a mint error on a Lincoln cent

I have a Lincon penny that I got around 1955/56 in some rolls of pennies. It is after 1914 (no VDB on reverse) and there is no date on it. I have looked at it with high power glass and can not see any sign of any scrufs, marks, etc to remove the date. Where would I look to see if this is a real/valid coin error?

    Welcome to the forum
    Post a full, clear picture of both sides of the coin plus a closeup of the date area
    and someone here should be able to help you. Without pictures we would just be guessing.

    It is possibly be a partial grease filled die error.

    No VDB on the reverse means that it's from the later half of 1909 onwards, not 1914 and onwards,

    I would think that it is a greased filled die. if you want a better opinion, I suggest you take it to a coin shop or a coin show. Some one at one of these locations can give you a more definite opinion.
