My wife just came home from work and I found this in her tip bag (she works at a donut shop). Anywho, is it an error, worth keeping, have any value, or is it just wear? Thanks!

Would need bigger pics to confirm but it looks like a Grease Filled Die. It's quite common but sometimes can carry a small premium as some do collect them

Well your pics are 19k. You are allotted up to 100k. Was the original size on your computer 19k?

looks like you are scanning the pics. Easiest way is to scan Just the coin and not the entire flatbed. if you don't and you crop down the picture it's gonna be kinda small

Most likely grease is the culprit and yes, it is worth keeping. Nice coin. I'd probably sell one like that for about $2-$3. You can try https://www.photobucket.com . it's free to join, and you can upload all your photos there and choose the size of your image posts. That is what I use.

Grease filled die. I have one very similar that I posted a few weeks ago, mine was missing the last number in the date. Deffinitely worth keeping, you won't get rich off of it, but it does have some added value.
