The star impression would not go into the coin it would be raised. It is Post Mint Damage as others have stated, heck of a find Marine!

I sent it to ANACS. For grading and research. ANACS is probably the best place to send it.  |

I'd like to see a SHARP closeup of that area PLUS there appears to be something on the rim near Star 7. And IMO for research Coin World would be a better place to get an opinion. Edited by kanga

I will be sure to post a pic and the findings when I get it back from ANACS. I will also post the high res pics I get back from them. Hoping for the best, expecting the minimum..... The history on stuff almost 200 years old is addicting.

So ANACS gave the coin a EF40 but they also gave it a (cleaned ).....
That was a little disappointing seeing as how all I did was wipe the dirt off of it with fingers and water and before I realized what it was since I pulled it from the ground. I guess on a positive note it is still considered a rare coin from a rare mint with less than 225 known have survived. Hey 226 now. As to value I guess not too concerned. I have a pretty cool find to hang on the wall.

Definitely still an excellent find, even though it's cleaned. BTW, the "damage" they're talking about is the star punched into the denticles at 10 o'clock on the obverse. |
