Hey all, it looks like this penny has layers missing out of the obverse, what do you all think? Thanks for your time and feedback!

Looks like delamination.

No reverse?
If it's incuse then most likely a lamination error - or if it is raised above the surface it could just be some type of glue and an acetone soak will remove it.
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
it could also be a light strike through
i was also thinking a thin smear of clear glue, too
is that a finger print in it
Glue.
Glue would be raised off the surface of the coin. You have the coin in front of you. Can't you tell? 🤔
Looks like glue or some form of adhesive. Try acetone

I'm sure it would come off with a dremel.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
If you dremel an S into it, you can sell it on eBay.

It sure looks like it. Acetone won't hurt the coin (if pure). All you need to do is soak it and you'll find out.

Acetone will not ruin the coin/ Acetone will remove any gluelike substance that might be on the piece. I've got a Buffalo nickel that has a "shelf". Comes from something sticking on the planchet (or the die) at time of striking. Your coin could be a light strike though as Morrisine is saying. But do the acetone treatment and see what happens with the shelf.

If strike through, the "shelf" would be incuse. My Buffalo nickel strike through was probably made by the die, in this case the 1916 obverse die, striking the planchet through a flake of metal that came off a planchet struck earlier. Kind of cool error is a strike through.

That's not exactly true. Normal white Elmer's glue dissolves in water, not acetone. However, my guess in this case is that it's tape residue rather than glue. Acetone will dissolve most types of tape residue nicely.
Whatever the case, it didn't leave the mint that way.
Elmer's glue doesn't dissolve in acetone?

A funny scene for sure (I dont condone doing this either👍)
Don't listen to Johnny! I condone, nay, ENCOURAGE all quality meme posting.

Probably not. It's water based. Lots of things don't dissolve in acetone.

And we won't get caught, neeners....
My vote is struck-through or glue. I'm leaning toward glue.
In all seriousness, acetone is not something for a physically challenged person to play around with. It's toxic. The toxicity can be mitigated and avoided if handled properly, but not if you are dropping and spilling it all over the place. Just give the coin to a friend or neighbor and have them scrape off the glue. They may scratch the coin in the process, but the coin is low-value, so it doesn't matter.
Nope.
Double nope. If those are your expectations, you will always be disappointed.
Nice...here we go again.
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right
From mykitchengallery.com. Bolding is mine:
Acetone: A Stronger Solvent Option
Acetone is a powerful solvent that can dissolve a variety of substances, including some types of adhesives. It’s more effective than water or vinegar for dissolving Elmer’s wood glue, but it should be used with caution.
Acetone is flammable and can damage some finishes, so it’s important to work in a well-ventilated area and test the acetone on an inconspicuous area of the surface before applying it to the glue. Wear gloves and eye protection to protect yourself from exposure.
Apply acetone to the glue using a cloth or cotton swab. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to soften the glue. Then, try scraping away the softened glue with a putty knife or scraper.
Obviously, one should not use a putty knife to remove the softened glue from the coin after soaking for a time in acetone. I would use the flat end of a toothpick for this job, gently encouraging the softened glue to release from the surface of the coin. Acetone treatment is going to be faster than water to soften hardened PVA (polyvinyl acetate) based glue which is what Elmer's wood glue is. Once the glue has been removed, rinse the coin with distilled water and then allow to dry thoroughly before putting into a holder.
Again, acetone is highly flammable! Use sparingly (it's expensive) in a well-ventilated area. Every collector should have a supply of acetone on hand for use when called for.

FYI, acetone evaporates very quickly [very quickly] so not sure how affective it would be after waiting a couple of minutes. Just sayin'
"Wood glue". It may dissolve in acetone but it is highly water soluble

Put acetone-resistant gloves on both hands. Pour a little acetone into a small glass dish. Place the coin in the dish, submerged in the acetone. The acetone should soften the Elmer's glue enough so that it can be removed. Try 30 seconds immersion. After 30 seconds, take a microfiber cloth to the area with glue and wipe it just once toward the rim using medium force down on the coin surface. Assess the situation. If one concludes that the glue needs to be rendered softer, immerse in acetone once again. OP's coin has gobs of mint luster. Acetone won't hurt the luster a bit so there's no limit to the amount of time the coin can be immersed in it. https://sciencing.com/gloves-should-used-acetone-8536346/

You are getting a speedier process with the acetone. Maybe it's not Elmer's glue on the coin but a glue that water can't affect no matter how long it's immersed in it. I'm always one to try and get time on my side without getting impatient. Getting impatient while treating one's coins with chemical agents is not a good thing. Success here would be measured by getting a pleasing result without compromising one's own safety and doing no harm to the coin. Practice makes perfect. The more you do it the better you get.

You might have too add some nail polish or something so you actually have some residue to remove.

Actually, that's not what that says. I know, it's really (not) subtle:
