Due to the weakness of the rim on that side of the coin, I would say your coin is the result of a tapered planchet...that's a planchet that's thinner on one side than the other. On the thin side, there's not quite enough metal to fill the recesses of the die.
The way to tell the difference between a filled die and a tapered planchet is that a filled die error will usually have good detail on the opposide side from the weakness, and a tapered planchet will be weak on the other side in the same area as the weakness on the obverse. Since I have no reverse photo to work from, I can't tell for sure either way.
If a Grease Filled Die, the coin would probably bring a buck or two to a curosity seeker. If a tapered planchet, probably up to $5.
