Looks like a Planchet flaw.

 

Oh my, I have to edit the post, I have a photo of a 1961 as my first photo sry,

 

Just add them in a post.

 

I didn't edit it, hope it's clear, thanks for your help alurid.

 

Thats clear, Can you post a photo of the reverse?

 

Without seeing the reverse,
and just a small area of the
obverse, I believe it's damaged,
and not an error.

 

Here is the reverse of the 2017 I'm sorry about that, thank you so much!

 

Thank you, don't know what I was doing!

I am quite certain that your coin is a Planchet flaw Error, even more so after seeing that there is no damage on the reverse.
It seems odd that I can see the Zinc where the Copper Plating is missing, and there is no raised metal around the area in question.
The Obverse is also a Missaligned Die Strike.
It can be quite difficult to define what a coin is or is not just from photos, the reason I asked for more photos.
You could take it to a coin dealer for second opinion if there is one in your area.

 

Thank you for your response, I will do that, I have tried to look up as much as I could to see what may have caused that, like you mentioned the planchet is the closest to what I've found, as soon as can I will check out a place not far who deals in coins, hopefully I'll have something to reply. Ty
