Welcome! Only copper-plated zinc Lincoln cents were minted in 1992. In the centers of this one, the zinc is fully exposed. At the edges of this zone where the copper is lost, you can see the blistering of the copper film coming away from the zinc planchet. The top of Lincoln's head is in this margin zone, and in the crease between the bust and the field the blistering has coalesced into one long blister, like a halo outline. You can see a little of the same effect at the upper inner corner of the B in Liberty.
