Is this a "You Suck" error or "just a cool find" error?

ChangeInHistory

One good thing about working at a garden center in May, you go through lots of change. I've found two silver dimes, a silver quarter, and several interesting odd coins. I found this yesterday just when I needed it (it was a really difficult day!) I tend to think it's just a cool find but am hoping for better news from anyone here.

Looks like a die break around the mint mark. Could use a bath in some acetone, neat find

Hell no, not even close!!!

i have some d mint zincolns showing that same type of doubling but
upon closer inspection you see its a matter of the clad layer giving way
and causing a tear between the layers in that area. i`m not sure if its an issue
with a too thin a copper layer or, from the angle the coin is struck then ejected.

or,, a bad area of the obverse die itself

Southeast of the mintmark is an area of subsurface corrosion that has pushed up the copper plating. The zinc was exposed here, allowing the corrosion to commence. Exposure of the zinc probably occurred during the strike. This is a common area for the copper plating to split.

Just inside the rim is a swelling that represents a form of die deterioration (deformation) that is very common on zinc cents. The zinc is tough on the dies, possibly because of its distinctive visco-elastic properties.

All of this is very common.
