It's been de-plated.

The copper plating has been removed
after the coin was in circulation.

Not an error, I'm sorry to say.

 

Is this common how would u know that

 

1) It is common.
2) Because he is one of the foremost experts in the realm of error coins...

Even with the atrocious pictures, it is easy to tell that your coin has been stripped of the copper plating.

 

O

 

Thanks now i know how. do. i remove the post

 

One of the worst photos I've ever seen.
Despite that, your coin has had its copper plating removed, exposing the zinc core.
It's damage after leaving the mint.

 

Damaged

 

You can't remove a post, only a moderator can change things. It's fine to leave as is.

 

Thanks i'm totaly new to this what would be the best phone. To get to post photos?

 

You can use almost any phone or camera to take photos. Some are better than others. One word of advice that I would give you is to play around with the camera you have. First, set it on a box or something where you can hang the lens out over the side. You can figure out if you need to move it higher or closer to the coin based on how the picture looks. It's almost never a good idea to take a photo holding the phone or the coin. Lots of good posts on here about that. Take the photo from the top down also, not the side or at an angle. Try it again here when you get a chance. Lets see how it looks!

 

To add to what @Bambam8778 said, dont take the picture of the coin in the flip. Take it out. You tend to get pretty bad glare from it otherwise.

 

Had to go work but im back now. Thanks guys. Gonna. Give it a whirl

 

First thing to ask yourself when you are going to post a picture is can I (meaning you) even determine what is going on with the quality of the photo? I can't even read the date so how could you expect anything good to come from that photo? What is your level of expertise with your smart phone? (Which is what I assume you are using for this?)

 

Can't seem to get the blur out

I read the question as someone who was challenging the information given without knowing what they were talking about, like a lot of new people here do. After that, though, turns out OP is actually willing to learn and take advice given. I even tried to help a bit with the picture taking even though I'm not all that great myself
