1982 penny possible error

Would this penny be considered as an error? I have seen something like that before so I don’t really know much about it. It doesn’t looks like It was damaged on purpose so any info help. hopefully pics a decent to see

Not an error from the mint. PMD (post mint damage) most likely partial damage from a coin roller machine. A more severe example:

Pretty sure it’s not PMD, if you look closely you can see the letters a still there, almost like it moved when it was made and got struck somehow 

here’s a little better picture 

One coin does not constitute a mint error. I assure you that this defect did not happen at the mint. Exactly how this damage happened after it was minted in it's 42 year history is anybody's guess but the coin roller damage theory is certainly a reasonable and plausible guess. If it were a true error during it's minting, there would be many other examples documented and noted. 

It might help for people who see “mint error” in any coin that has some obvious post mint damage to understand the rudiments of how modern coins are made to understand what errors are and are not possible for the mint to make.

PMD all day long.
