I just received this coin in the mail. It's really neat but I have no idea what type of error this is...   |

top one is something glued or soldered on it actually looks to be dripping down the coin face off the piece off metal.
Wert I think yours is something else, a crack that turned into a chip.

Are those die cracks around the 1 in 1 cent?

We are ALL still learning and I really mean that. I've been schooled in modern coins here so many times I have felt absolutely spanked, but it's great and I've extended my collection forward a little as a result.

chris86-
Nice coin except for that. I'd try an overnight soak in acetone, then a thorn or toothpick to see if it comes off.

If it is actually part of the coin it would be a die chip. (it does looks artificially attached to me)
Edit: as always these are just opinions that are worth exactly what you paid for them, so no worries.
