Can you post a picture of the reverse?
standard weight is 5.7 grams, so that may be within tolerances, and the color change may just be environmental toning. May have been on the ground for some time.

those pictures are better, you were posting them as I was typing my last reply, but that reply still applies. Looks like it was on the ground for a while. Sorry, but only worth 25 cents.

Looks like a dug coin that somebody tried to clean (with a fine wire brush)

@karims, when coins are left in the ground they can look like this. I agree with the others that your coin likely has developed this color from environmental damage. It is safe to spend!

Kaufman: Your coin was found outside where the elements altered the color. Not a mint error. The way I can tell that is what happened to your coin is the silver color from the cladding is showing through on the highest points on the coin. A missing cladding would show a stronger red color and have no silver showing. Also the design would be weaker because of missing cladding. The weight would also be lighter. So it is not an error coin.

@karims1976, just as a head's up, best practice is to start a fresh thread if you have a different coin to look at. That way, when someone searches, they can find exactly what they are looking for. Certainly not the end of the world, but maybe for next time.
Anyway, for your coin, I don't think that you have a strike through error. Rather, this looks like purposeful damage occurring well after the coin left the mint. You can see where the tool displaced metal from the groove to the sides of the groove. This one looks spendable to me also.
