1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list).

What kind of error is this? Rare? value?
As you can see it's a 1993 Lincoln Memorial Penny, was in a coin roll from the bank.
The mark in the middle points outwards on both sides like a bump or nipple.

Post mint damage. There is nothing in the minting process that would make a coin look like this.

It's just a badly damaged cent and a stroll through error-ref.com should have helped you. I highly recommend researching that website.
