It looks like an early stage Dryer Coin.

Place it on top of a regular cent and see if the diameter is slightly smaller.

 

PS

Why do you have so much wasted space between your copy and photos?

 Welcome to the NGC Chat Board.

 This is simply a damaged 1991-D cent and worth face value.

  Contrary to what you may have seen on TikTok and other non-numismatic sources, it is virtually impossible to find valuable mint errors and varieties in circulation. You need to learn what such pieces actually look like and how they are created during the minting process, such as articles you will find through the search bar on the NGC home page--try "mint errors"--and sites such as error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, and varietyvista.com.

   You should be able to eliminate the unnecessary white space by clicking the three small dots at the right side of your post and going to "Edit".

Here is a link to a discussion on another forum which has pictures of several other coins showing this same damage, along with a possible explanation of how they were formed. Dryer coin thread - click here

   You shouldn't have substituted your 1922 Peace dollar for the 1991-D Lincoln cent, since all the replies before this one are about the cent and will confuse future readers! It should have been a new topic! 

  Someone put an adhesive substance on the back of the 1922 dollar. It was probably mounted on a wall or other surface.  Due to this damage, it is worth only its silver value.  It is one of the most common silver dollars and isn't worth much more in circulated grades anyway.

Before you can be an "Errorfinder", you need basic knowledge about U.S. coins and their grading and valuation. Please refer to the following topic for print and online resources from which you may obtain such knowledge:

So did I. I thought @Sandon was starting to lose it there for a minute until I saw his second post.  I thought that was an awful funny looking 1991 D cent.

yep looks spooned to me

No mint mark on a Peace dollar just means it was minted in Philadelphia, totally normal.

Me too, and was about to reply that it didn't look like a dryer coin but instead some type of adhesive on the reverse, possibly from being glued to a board, until I read Sandon's follow up comment.

@ErrorfinderIt probably wasted a bunch of time and confused people by just swapping out the coin you wanted to discuss.  If you wanted to ask about another coin simply start a new thread, and only post one coin per thread so it doesn't get confusing.

I agree with Sandon that you need to understand what errors are before you can find them, and your making a classic rookie mistake of just thinking anything unusual might me an error.  I have roll hunted for quite a while, as have may others here, and the reality is that most of the time something unusual you find is just a damaged coin.

I would start over and go to the errors and varieties websites as well as the "Resources" thread linked by Sandon above instead of just continuing to spin your own wheels.

My Gawd if I could wave a magic wand and make this hobby far more tolerable, it would be to stop beginners from thinking about errors.

Very true. Ive been roll hunting for 4 years now quite often and Ive only found 5 coins that would be considered errors OR varities. Ive found 3 die clashed quarters. And Ive found 2 true doubled die coins. 1 quarter and 1 cent. And thousands of damaged coins like the ones that get posted on this forum on a daily basis. Not counting the hundreds of die chips and cracks. I have no intrest at all in those unless its something spectacular. Like a major cud or shattered die. All these crippled eagles and spitting buffalos and things like that intrest me none in the very least. I guess all these cute names have turned me aginst them. Thats all you see anymore. Everytime someone finds a die crack they give it some kind of dumb name. I guess if people like them thats great and Im happy for them. Not gonna tell people what to collect but its not my thing.  But those good errors are not that common. The newer collectors need to learn theres way more damage than there are errors.
