@ Newbie, no it looks like the plating is starting to split from the rim. Again, split plating a common occurrence with the Zinc plated cents
It is nice to see that you are looking at the entire coin and not just the area in question. Good job :) - for me when I started I was so focused on the specific area of the coin in question that I was missing other things on the coin.
