I know it's not a very big deal, but any thoughts on the Reverse of the cent. It on the P of Pluribus. There is a small line can't tell if it is raised or not. Also the edge is thicker than normal cents but weighs 2.79g. Still interesting

Not a die chip; looks like a hit.
Probably best not to focus on things that you can't really see. If you're looking for anomalies, look for something larger.
do you have any more '26 cents you could sandwich that one between/?
The 2026 Pennies would be made on a slow speed press. More pressure = higher rim.

Doesn't look like a die chip or a hit, more like a minor strikethrough.

I have 7 2026 Pennies right now, I’ll weigh them and see what they come to. My guess is just that the mint is making their own planchets for the first time in many years and is still fine tuning.

the mint purchases pre-plated planchets from a contractor
I do think it's a strikethrough although be it minor.
If it’s raised, it looks like it could possibly be a copper plating bubble,
although very small.
