When making enquires, always post photos of both sides of the coin and be specific with your question. From the photos supplied, I see no errors, just some minor Machine Doubling.
Sorry I am new to this, it is a Sacagawea 2000, one dollar coin. And to me it looks like it could be double strike or maybe triple strike? Like I said I am new to posting in forums so please bare with me, I will post pics of the coin in its entirety as soon as I can thank you
It's hard to tell from the images, but your coin seems to have some Die Deterioration on the left side of the "O".
I can't see the "ripples" you mention. But if they are straight lines radiating from the center they might be die flow lines. These die flow lines can be produced on the surface of the die after excessive use of the dies, as the metal from the coins flows across the surface of the die. In the past, die maintenance and polishing were employed more often than now.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
If it is a plastic case/2X2, they maybe plastic scratches on the holder/2X2. Best to take the images in the raw (the coin that is) so the shine/holders imperfections don't accent what you are seeing. When add a light source to the image, then it reflects off of the holder.
