1983 Lincoln Error Penny

I'm hoping someone on this Forum can give me some info on this coin. I've attached a merged photo of the head and tail of the coin. the photo accurately depicts the coin with the exception that the copper color is a deeper hue.

The coin was received in change in 1985 or 86. The measurements are normal for a 1983 copper clad penny. It weighs 2.5 grams, the diameter is .750", the thickness is .057". The head of the coin is normal. The tail has a mirror image of the front. The date, lettering, image of Lincoln on the tail are slightly hollowed. Part of the Lincoln Memorial, and lettering that are on the tail can be seen and are in the right areas, but are slightly tilted.The closest error description that I could find to describe the coin is a Brockage error.

I know very little about coins. Can anyone give me info on the error type, and if the coin has any value?

Thanks!

Howdy rasputin - Welcome to the Forum !!

Posting the same question or comments in multiple sections is not really necessary. You'll get answers with one thread on the subject
