Thank you Petespockets55, Morgans Dad and Tacc!! .

Im not sure about what I'm going to say thats why I want to apologize in advance if I'm crossing the line, I don't know if mikediamond will agree with this because he is very busy, and I don't want he waste is time but, I can send this coin to him if he want so he can examine it well and used as references to put it in https://www.error-ref.com. or I can send him the original images with better resolution too. Please guys don't be mad at me for crossing the line

Brandmeister, are you taking about the E of WE? If so, I'm not sure about it, is a little confused because it has some distortion, thats why I didn't point it, but I can try to check again later today and upload the image in I find something.

Thank you to all for all the input on this one

I would certainly be willing to give it a closer look. I would PM you with my mailing address and mailing instructions, but it appears you're not accepting e-mails through this website.

Gigi2110, go to the very top of the page and click "Tools", then click "Manage your profile". It will ask you for your username and password. After that, you can select "Yes" to enable emailing.

I now have the coin. As best I can tell, a foreign body or contaminant was present in, or lying on top of, the core strip and was trapped between the core strip and the clad strip when the two were bonded together. As rolling proceeded, the foreign body disrupted the clad layer, exposing the core on either side of the foreign body. After rolling, the foreign body fell out of the strip, the blank, or the planchet, leaving a coarsely-textured groove in the coin's surface.

Thank you Mr Diamond, for explaining what's going on with this coin!! . I always find common errors like struck through, die crack, rim burr, or lamination but this is my first time finding something a little more interesting so I'm happy with it.

Thank you Mr Diamond and to everyone that give me their input in this one, I really appreciate it!!

Excellent find, gigi! And thank you Mike for the diagnosis. Has there been resolution to the area on the obverse around the ear? Could it be related to the issue on the reverse?

*Has there been resolution to the area on the obverse around the ear? Could it be related to the issue on the reverse?*

I believe there isn't a resolution on that.
