to the CCF

You are showing two images of the obverse. Most likely you used the same file name for the attempted reverse photo. Use a different file name for each photo.

What are you seeing? Please describe the 'error'.

Looks like it has taken a hit which would
be damage, not an error.

To CCF! I'm seeing no errors. I'm just seeing circulation wear and stains on the face.

Not sure if I'm hallucinating, but are the matching shapes I highlighted here raised from the surface of the coin, or are they just stains? Either way, I'm not qualified to say what they are or how they might have gotten there, except to note that they're not like anything I've observed on otherwise evenly worn George V coppers.

What really caught my eye was the way the "foot" of the lower T-shape or cruciform jumps uninterruptedly off the King's cheek and over to the side of his nose, almost like an applique.

Pareidolia?

The two "T" shapes are conected by a circular arc through the ear.

I suspect it's post-mint damage, caused by a heavy weight (like a chair or table leg) with that-shape on the base of the foot, pressing into the coin for many years.
