Hi, Michael , & 
to the Coin Community Family (CCF) ...
...unfortunately, your coin is not a minting error ... what you see was done to the coin after it left the mint ... most likely placed in a vise with another Lincoln Cent & squeezed together, thus making the reverse / incuse lettering mirrored on the obverse ... this is a common trick that some people do, putting the coin back into circulation, just to get an unknowing observer all excited ...
...I'm not an error expert, but I'll bet those here that are, will agree ...
...true, rare minting errors are just that : "rare" ... chances of finding a valuable error are about the same as winning in the lottery ...
...ignore the misleading click-bait videos posted online, & stick with honest, knowledgeable people, such as the members here
...that being said,..."good eyes" ... & keep searching ... & post your finds & questions ...
