It looks like the coin has a Ridge Ring due to a worn die. This is common on the copper plated zinc cent as the mint seems to keep using the dies far beyond their useful working life. It's not really something you want to see on a coin and doesn't add any value. This is Die Deterioration/Fatigue and once it starts, every coin struck with that die will have the same problem with the resulting coins.
