thanks for the quick reply and reverse image.
For now, I'll stick with a partial or off centered die cap.

But what ever you do with this coin, try to not touch the surfaces with your finger and get prints and oils all over it - it will ruin any inherent value it may hold (if any)

Most likely struck through a detached clad layer. However, I can't rule out a strike through a late-stage partial (off-center) die cap.

I don't mean to parade my ignorance ,,,,,but could it be a blob of glue or nail polish on the obverse ?

No, it is not glue, it is struck through something. See the luster on the affected area? Also see how it looks sunken in?  |

Very cool. @MikeDiamond can you explain why you feel it's more likely to be struck through a detached clad layer rather than an off-center die cap? An amazing find regardless!

Would it be in my best interest to get it slabbed through PCGS? Or would the investment outweigh the value?

Fascinating find. Find it roll hunting, or in change, or?

The clad layer would have separated from an unstruck planchet. I favor the struck-through-clad-layer scenario for two reasons. First, the strength of the ghost image is consistent with this diagnosis. Second, partial die caps seldom last long enough for a strong ghost image to bleed through.

Thanks everyone for your inside. I appreciate it immensely!!! Any one got advice in to slab or not to slab? Rough value of a coin like this. This is the first one I've come across. So,p I got it in s pile of coins from an old friend who passed away. His wife knew I collected and she wanted for me to have his small collection. Thanks again everyone!!!
