New collector, opened a box of halves and I found this. Is this considered an error coin or what? Possible value.

@dha, first welcome to CCF. Second, rather than a mint error, this looks like mechanical damage to me--perhaps wire cutters?

Appears to be intentional damage.

dhauck56,

Not a mint error. Intentional damage after it left the mint, PMD.
I moved your thread to a better section of the forum.
