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!! gigi2110

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?

Thank you Hondo Boguss!! *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.  gigi2110
