What type of error is this 1978 penny? Is it worth anything because it is in pretty good shape. Would it be worth having it graded?

I have a helpful post in my signature block on how to take a photo with a cellphone and upload it here to the forum.
CONECA forum rules state that we dont talk value here. Prices can flucuate wildly betweem different people, and regions.

I agree with Centwise. It looks like a combo of acid treated and then some one used an abrasive on it like emery cloth or high grit sandpaper. If a coin reaches circulation, they are vulnerable to all kinds of garage experiments.
If the OP thinks this is pretty good shape and wants to spend close to 75+ bucks to get it graded, I suggest they look at other coins in the higher grades. Look for already slabbed coins and note their appearance, espeacially gem BU. You also should look up prices of coins on pcgs.com or the fair market value on numismedia.com.
Ive seen Indian Head cents in good condition that are better shape compared to this example.
