It is just post-mint damage, caused by contact with other coins and other different objects. In other words, it's a spender.

If you are new to looking for errors, you can end up really "spinning your wheels". This is what I recommend.

First, do some research online and understand how coins are made. 

Second, go to a website such as https://doubleddie.com/ and take a look around. Instead of looking at one of your cents and just guessing that something is an error, first understand what types of errors are known to be found on each specific year/mm. Then look for those specifically. 

Yes, people sometimes discover errors on years/mm which weren't known to have them. But that is something that you cannot do until you really understand what to look for. 

 

Hope this helps!

Welcome to the Forum..

Good advice from thisistheshow. If you learn the minting process and what constitutes an error, you would readily realise that Lincoln is just damage as there is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin.

Another good source for learning what is a genuine error is the website " error-ref.com". They have many pictures of genuine errors. Good luck searching.
