Is this error?

Hi,
i found this penny but i don't know if it is an error or not, like you see the rim is hiding the letters ?

It's due to damage.

 

looks like it's been harshly cleaned and run over by a truck.

 

this coin has spent some time in a clothes dryer. the tumbling has caused the rim to roll over.

 

Thank you ))

 

If your looking for errors, definitely buy the cherry pickers guide. There are a lot of them in there. Not all, but a lot.
