Never use bleach to clean a coin. It reacts badly with metals.
[/ATTACH] An ever so slight MAD, misaligned die strike. Only worth face value.
If you look closely you can see the copper coating peeling off of the coin. The white metal underneath is the zinc.
It's a linear plating blister. They are common on those Zinc Cents and they are worthless, except for face value. Welcome to CT.
Personally I find the label with the higher price ridiculous. I know there are those who would argue but please don't.
The best person to ask is @paddyman98. I can't see any real value in that minor error.
It's considered common but you would get more responses with a new thread. I'd tuck it away and keep it. It's in nice shape they don't make them...

Old die so nope.
All very common DDD. NAV coins.
Happy birthday Meow! Hopefully you'll get done catnip.
That's a minor die crack that's been worn so nice find on a very common coin.
Nice, I like it.
If anything, they would be considered minor varieties and they are not worth the price to buy them.
You're welcome
Glad to hear you didn't pay that much.
Thank you

They are in the business of making money. If a dealer told me that, I'd leave pronto.
What are they worth? Not a lot.
