This is a common date, brown, worn, circulated Indian Head Cent, which has the value of about $1. As the composition of this coin, it’s made out of 95% copper and 5% zinc. The US had never intentionally made cents from silver.

You still are trying too hard to find some rare item that might be worth money, but you have no idea what actual collectable errors are. You have 75 posts on the forum and so far everything you posted has turned out to be a waste of your time. Plus a number of those posts are the same kind of damage or non-issue as other posts you have made. By now this should be a clue to you that you need to change methods instead of wasting more of your time and efforts finding damaged coins worth nothing. Learn what an actual error is and what can or cannot happen to make an error, or you will keep finding nothing.

Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don’t learn the coin hobby backwards. 😊

Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage.

Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like.

A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.😊

Did you weigh it? If it weighs normal than it's damaged or was formerly plated then worn off during circulation.
