Closer pics of the coin are needed, but it really just looks like a plating bubble. Plating bubbles add no value to the coin, however it is kind o interesting.

Thanks I'm not completely familiar with a plating bubble . But I can tell you that it is very solid and looks to be raised or imprinted by the die! I will try to get clear pics .
It's either a plating bubble or a die chip. In either case, it has very little value other than as a curiosity.
Copper plating bubbles on cents have been common since the mint started using copper plated zinc planchets in 1982. Spend it or toss it onto a Walmart parking lot so we can discuss this coin again in a few days.

@SeattlePitt ... Welcome aboard. We need better pictures to conclusively determine the issue. That being said, either a plating bubble or die chip are the likely answer. No significant numismatic premium for that. You could take a rose thorn and poke it, if a plating bubble, it will break, if a die chip, it will be solid. Cheers, RickO
Thanks everyone look forward to learning what I can from y'all.
