That's a BIE cent. It's due to a broken die and has no numismatic value.

Ok thank you

 

Welcome to the site I agree with everyone above its a BIE cent, however it hold not much more numismatic value you can still get a few extra dollars for it...

 

Thank you all for the information.

 

Some of us collect these, @Tara lea, so it's a good find. I'd keep it. At least you can see the thing without a microscope.
