From what I make of thse fuzzy pics, it's not an error but post-mint damage. That coin is beat up something awful
Your coin is worth about 1 cent.

ya, I say its just pretty beat up.
although, if it happens to be an error, it could be worth a lot.

Your coin exhibits what we call PMD or Post Mint Damage. Retail value $0.05 |

that is called "lamination." it is when some sort of foriegn substance gets caught under the surface,
making a part of the coin peel off.

Not a lamination, just a damaged cent worth face value.
