My luck may be changing hopefully with this one ! Atleast this has an actual error visible to the eye. Please any advice if this is something to hold onto

You don’t indicate as to what you are referring to but if it is the mark on Lincoln’s forehead,
that is just damage from a hit. You can see the displaced metal.

Oh my gosh I am sorry didn't want to be embarrassed & say the wrong things again bc I really felt stupid after lol. I am sooo new at this & relied on YOUTUBE sites & was given so many false and decietful GRADES about my US coins & my Canadian coins saying they worth $$$ to than only finding out they are just regular coins

#1- I don't know what to call it BUT there is a line going through the words " in God we trust " just below the rim and goes around to the letter E in the word ONE? ( is this called off center? ) .
#2 -also looks like a line in the letter " U " in the word " Pluribus " so would that be considered an error or is it just extra die?
#3- I know the letters on coins in some words eventually wear down, but I have 2 of the same year but look different? The one I posted is darker than the other coin which is more shinerer (variety maybe ? ). I will post picture of the 2 of them side by side if that helps at all?

No need to feel stupid for asking a question, that’s how we all learn.

#1 - That is called a ridge ring caused by a deteriorating die.
#2 - That looks like a plating bubble, very common on zincoins.
#3 - If you are referring to the S and O, that is just a weak strike caused by lack of metal.

If you are referring to something else, I will wait for pictures.

The line is ridge ring, it happens on coins struck by a very worn die, very common on US cents, and not desireable.
Your coin also suffers from zinc rot, spend it if you can before it rots away.

Thank you guys appreciate it!! Anywhere I can view a coin book like a charslton someone mentioned in other posts about referring to that instead of YouTube Lol so I know what to look for in my Canadian coins and US for errors and certain dates.
