Found this roll hunting. Is this an Error?

It is either incomplete coverage by the copper or environmental damage.
Looks legit for an incomplete plating error.
Acid?

It's a pretty cool looking coin. Don't know if it matters but it came from a Uncirculated roll.
What @MarkKelley said.
Awesome do I need to send it to be graded?
Looks like a legit partial unplated planchet to me
It is not needed. I think your profits would be eaten up by the grading fee.
Thanks everyone.
How do you know that when you don't know how much it's worth?

How does the value of this get determined?
Its probably worth around $100. Grading cost would eat a large part of its value, but to protect the exposed zinc it might be wise to send to ANACS for slabbing.

Yep... Portions of cent not plated. While slabbing fees would eat into any premium, the encapsulation would protect the zinc surface from rapid degradation. Cheers, RickO
