I am wondering if you have ever seen an error like this one. I found it last night on a circulated coin. I'm calling it the presidential zombie coin.

I uploaded pictures, but I don't see them.
No, never.
This one right here..........

how about a flip side pic?

Not an error, that is called a hobo coin and has been retooled after it left the mint.
You can buy many different versions in different denominations on eBay.
Basically it is a damaged dollar.
Abe Lincoln, Vampire Hunter?
It's a fake hobo coin, since the modern ones don't count.
Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?
Let me try to upload it again.
This coin is straight out circulation. Unlike the hobo coin.
.
That is a fairly Large Struck Through ( probably grease)
and would be considered an error.
Is that coin inside a holder of some kind?
My first reaction was struck-through, but I think i see a surface disruption on the reverse opposite the area on the obverse. (Then there is the rim issue).
JBK I think you're right. It does look like an impact to the coin, as there's a flat spot opposite side of the indent.
What do you think about this one? The "crack" is raised off of the 1979-D half dollar. I would think that indicates a cracked die, but I can't find any discussion about a similar coin out there.
That appears to be a scratch on the half dollar to me. When there is a scratch there is a corresponding ridge of displaced metal alongside the scratch making it appear raised.
