Nice Woody! I have one just like it.
It looks like a lamination error to me.

Oh sorry, I was looking at the Obverse.
The reverse looks like a Grease Filled Die error.

Otto: to me it looks like possible lamination issues starting next to the "I" in IN. But could be wrong.

Nice woody cent - but I think it is a weak strike on the reverse due to the obverse taking up much of the material to form that side. Pretty common on the older Lincoln cents.

The upper part of the O and the rest are current on those cents been very weak .

Bizzare point of view from KURD about Lam.

Maybe struck on a tapered planchet?

Since the opposite side (LIB in LIBERTY and maybe the bottom of the vest) is not evenly struck either.

Tanman2001 has a good point. What's the weight of your coin?
