I'd be interested in what the experts have to say. If anything looks quite interesting to me. It also appears that the lettering IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY and the year and mint mark are all off centered or is it the way the photo is or it's late and I need to go to bed lolo.

It appears to be a swath of plating blisters, which is common on 1980s "Zincoln" cents, but the pattern (in a strip) is unusual. Experts?

When they are in a line, they are called linear plating bubbles,
not unusual on zincoins and add no value.

I'm thinking a plating issue--likely zinc dust on the planchet, which as contributed to spawning some plating bubbles. Swath is a good description. Looks like early split plating on the mint mark. What does the reverse look like?

It is a plating issue. Most times if it is zinc dust it would be a hard blister,if something like a liquid gets trapped it would be a bubble you could press down.No added value but kinda neat,keep if you like.
