I don't see an error. I see possibly glue on the coin. Also I don't believe you can have a lam on a copper coated zinc coin.

Let's try this again. After 1982 all cents made for circulation are of a zinc cent with copper plating, very thin plating at that. If what you have is a lam, then the zinc core would have started corroding long ago. It is what it is, and it's not what you think it is. Sorry.

Whatever. You obviously have your mind made up on this. You can't even measure correctly. If it was a lam, with that part missing, then it would be grey. It isn't. You can even see where the glue is covering the area, causing it to still have luster while the rest of the coin isn't.
So you want to know a value ........
One cent

Ben, all he was doing was giving you an honest opinion about your coin through his eyes. He wouldn't have even read your thread if he wasnt trying to help. After all, what you IDing it as is also only an opinion until it has been studied by a professional. But if you happen to be correct and were able to confirm it with your research, then it shouldn't be too terribly hard to do the same for an estimated value right? I'm not trying to be rude but very few of us can say with any certainty that this coin has this or that error and is positively that and nothing else. 99% of members here are very helpful even if they do occasionally come off as a little blunt lol. Hope you are right about it regardless. Good luck out there and HH!

Sorry but as previously stated, it is glue or epoxy! If it were a delamination error, then it would be the same color as the coin unless it exposed the Zinc core. Since the color is golden, then it is not the Zinc core and definitely not a retained delamination.
