Is this an error coin?

I have joined cointalk because I found a coin that is interesting.

It has a faint circling in it near the edges.

It is most visible between LIBERTY and IN.

Does it have any value?

I have more pictures.

Is it an error coin?

I have never seen a penny like it, and I am interested in what it is.

It's called a ridge ring and is primarily found on the zinc Lincoln cents. Due to die deterioration. I wouldn't call it an error, just overuse of a die. It has no extra value

There is a short explanation on the error-ref site

Thank you!

Like the others said, not an error or worth anything more than face. Welcome to CT though. Hope you stay around and learn and contribute.

I'm so confused by your name/avatar though...

 

Thank you!

Haha! I love chickens and ducks. It is confusing when my name is stroopwafeltheduck and there is a picture of my chicken Xochitl.

Not to mention, stroopwaffles are AMAZING

 

They really are extraordinary!

What the hell are "stroopwaffles"?

 

Not an error coin but it was produced by a worn die. Fairly common and it add no value to the coin. Welcome to CT.

 

Thank you!

Stroopwafels are a dutch treat made from thin waffles and a golden syrup, treacle, cinnamon, and caramel filling.

@Stroopwafeltheduck ...Welcome to CoinTalk!

Really hard to see, pic is blurry...but kinda see what @Oldhoopster and @furryfrog02 are saying. Work on posting clear in-focus pics.

Stroop in English is syrup and wafel in English is waffle!
