192? Penny Mis Strike?

Penny is not in great shape but looks like part of the year is missing? I enhanced the second image to make it easier to see.

Probably struck through grease which obliterated most if not all of the last digit. I am probably wrong but I see a ghost "2" where the 4th digit is supposed to be and considering that "LIBERTY" is weak on the coin, you might have a 1922-"No D" Lincoln Cent. Now, you just have to use a microscope or something to enhance the area where the 4th digit is or should be to see if it is in fact a "2". If it is, then you likely have a $500+ coin.

try a better photo in daylight with center focus on date. a reverse photo may help determine if wear is uniform or if coin was tampered with. your LCS should give an opinion using a minimum 30X loupe. NICE SAVE
