1957 Wheat Cent. Is it a mint date error?

Hi, recently I figured out among my hundreds of cents this one.
Could you tell me if this is a mint error, and if worth something more than one cent?
Thanks for any help.

Die chip.

 

yes, die chip.

The cardboard holder is worth more

 

Die Chips are found on many Cents minted in 1957 and 1959.. Nothing major

Also.. Create your error questions over at the Error Coins forum of CoinTalk

 

Thank you @paddyman98. I won't spend it only because it has a nice toned color.

Ops, sorry. I apologize for it.

 

I'll bet you could fill one million 5-gallon buckets with pennies having that same color.

Are you sure? (my camera cannot takes good photos)

 

That is a different color from your first photos.

I really don't know why my camera takes different photos. Almost all the times what I see in my hand is very different in the photo. In my hands my coins are lustrous, have toning colors, but, when I take a picture...

 

That's a nice die chip in a common area. Keep it as a reference.

 

As you have discovered, taking photos of coins isn't all that easy. I don't know what kind of camera you use, but if it is an SLR, you might want to get a copy of Mark Goodman's book...

Thanks for the tip Chris, thank you very much! But no, I do not have a great camera. Mine is an obsolete Olympus x15 8mpx but at the moment I'm using the camera of my cell phone which is a motorola XT1033 (8mpx) with an adaptive zoom lens.
I can show my coins here in CT, but as you see, the quality is not the best.
