Thread title
Coin was run over by a Ford?
That mudt be the first time anyone confused Abraham Lincoln with Gerald Ford. Although it was minted during the Ford administration...

If you are looking for errors, I suggest you do some studying first on what an error actually is.
About 99% of the anomolies you see on coins are just damage, it is rare to find an actual error
in the wild. You should learn on how coins are minted as this is the only time an error can occur.
Also you need to learn the difference between a variety and an error. Until you learn these things
you will just be hitting your head against the wall. A perfect example is the coin you just showed,
how do you think that could have possibly happened when the coin was struck.
A good site to study what an actual error is error-ref.com.
LOL, I think he meant a Ford vehicle. Since a Lincoln is made by Ford.
So he was close....
Yes, you posted. Please stop—no reason to return.
BS
I'm sure... except why does he think Abe looks like a car?

So, we should expect him to find a Ford dime next.

You had better add some parking lot damage to that 'Ford' Cent, to make it more realistic.

That's an interesting tool (pliers) that made the big marks. Otherwise the damage appears to be random rather than meant to deceive. It probably all happened at the same time.
Well, Lincoln WAS shot in Ford's Theater.
Advice for the OP. If you're looking for anomalies on coins, you need to understand that over 99% of the 'error' coins you find will be damage from outside the mint. I recommend watching some of the videos on YouTube about how coins are made (avoid the ones about mint errors as a large percentage of those are bogus.) Here's a decent one:

When you find an anomalous coin, try and determine that it isn't a mint error using your knowledge of the minting process, instead of assuming it is an error because it looks different.
Real mint errors are valuable because they are rare and in demand. If you're determining almost every coin you find is some kind of error, you will be wrong on most, if not all of them.
If you enjoy looking at coins, don't be discouraged. It is possible to find some neat varieties and errors in circulation if you know what to look for and look at enough coins.
beat up, damaged coin. not an error
