That is common damage caused by a coin machine. Either a Coin Wrapping Machine or a vending machine. Keep looking, there are some nice error coins out there waiting to be found!

Welcome, as you search more and more coins, you will find lots of this kind of post mint damage.

On this page:http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/pmd.html
there is another photo of a coin with similar damage from a wrapping machine.
You can see how the damage runs parallel to the rim on both coins.

Coinoppurtunist, if you're going to be like this, then don't even bother commenting! If your coin is like this OP's, then it Post Strike Damage (Happen out of the U.S. Mint). Your coin is only worth face value. Anyway, if you're going to be like this, then I'll just forget about you. We know what we are talking about.

Dates like this are fairly common, it's caused by wrapping machines.

If previous possessor(s) placed it back into circulation. Then maybe it is the exact same coin. Though it still looks like damage. Image will tell the tell. Thanks, Doug.

It sure seems the 0s get caught more often.
