Are these on one side or both? Can we get a full picture of the side(s) of the coin?

Hi, I just added the pictures of both sides on the bottom. Any ideas?

In my opinion, it looks like road-rash. It spent time between some shoes and a concrete sidewalk. PMD  |

I agree. It's been through some scraping and maybe a coin counter, but does this treatment leave Cuds, doubled letters and missing - melted looking beads? I'm wondering if the coin had some mint errors beforhand and then went through the wringer? What could cause the melting look? |

Any time you look at a coin's surfaces with higher than 5x magnification you are going to see serious "problems", especially with coins that show problems to the naked eye. TPG graders rare use anything higher than 3x (except for variety attribution). Your coins shows all the attributes of a rough former life -- AFTER it left the mint. |

It's so beat up that I don't think there would be a premium even if something under all that was an error.

Thank you everyone, I'll make sure to set this one aside as an example for after mint damage!

I do see doubling going on but the Cud like accumulations look like PMD, too bad its so beat up. Trade it for five nickels maybe you'll find something else. |
