    Hi y’all,
    Picked up this penny in a cash register and thought it looked a little odd along the LIBERTY and Reverse too. What kind of error is this?

    That is a form of die wear, it is called a ridge ring.

    The error you have is known as a copper covered zinc coin. It’s caused by wear as stated. Spend it.
