The front of the penny has quite of few things. In god we trust then also has it counter clockwise. Liberty the same thing, same with Lincoln, and under the date. Pretty cool. Thanks in advance y'all

It's not an error but rather it's PMD (Post Mint Damage)... most likely the result of someone by putting two coins into a vice together and then tightening!
