Looks like it might have been cleaned, and has some Environmental Damage. It's not an error by any means, just Post Strike Damage ( PSD), meaning that this happened after it left the U.S. Mint.
I cannot tell for sure but almost looks like it has a bar under the letter L in LIBERTY. Kyleg, since you have the cent in hand does it look like there is a raised bar under the L?
