I have a 1993 Lincoln Penny with a mint error. Maybe a clogged die. The 3 is missing from the date. I don't think these hold much value and the enviromental problem doesn't help much either but any opinions or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for all your help.

Looks like a Greaser to me.

I'm no expert, but I think you're right, that it wouldn't hold much of a premium with the enviromental problems.

The OP coin is a grease filled strike as correctly suggested above.
