It's an encased, or "lucky token" cent. It formerly resided in a ring of aluminum (or other metal) which had some sort of advertising slogan or message on it. A little bit of the token design ended up on the reverse of the cent. It's not an error. _________________ President of CONECA; Host of Error Coin Information Exchange (Yahoo:Groups).
