Assuming the reverse is perfectly normal, your coin has a minor misaligned die. The hammer (obverse) die was not quite centered over the anvil (reverse) die. These are relatively common and typically do not carry any premium unless the dies are so misaligned that part of the design is missing.

Here's some to look for.

Nice. Thanks
How the heck did they date that cent? I was going to guess 1970s from the looks of it, but is there a date visible under the subsequent strike?
And wouldn't that qualify as "post strike damage"? A perfectly good cent was subsequently damaged after being struck (the first time).
no, not an error

@pradren...Welcome aboard. That is not an error...very common actually. Slight misalignment of die. Cheers, RickO
