It is a strange mark and by Abe's face the copper is raied in a thin sheet. Are these errors worth anything? An estimate?

The straight line coming out of the bottom left corner looks to be a die crack, but I'm not sure what that jagged error feature is that goes through his beard. If it was a post 82 penny I'd say it was maybe zinc peeling, but it looks like yours is pre-82.

You have a lamination peel worth a buck or two. These happen due to improper alloy mix and the metal doesn't bond properly when it's rolled out. They are pretty common.
