Found this penny while roll hunting - Error coin?

It looks like a chunk was taken out on the rim. Any help with this would be appreciated

it's not an error, the newer pennies are made of zinc and that is extremely corrosive and will decay in a short period of time given the right conditions.

They actually put ZINCS on the bottom of boats to attract the elements that decay metal in order to preserve the hull of the boat, the zinc gets eaten away quite quickly too.

I wouldnt pay a full cent for that, there is a chunk missing!

Yup, as buffalo boy says, just a rotted zinc penny.
