Could be a minor Greaser.

Good closeup would help.



to the CCF!

Best pictures I've got so far.

Your recent picture looks like a hit flattened it. Or could also be damage from a "Gumball" machine mechanism - so PMD another words.

with PMD of some sort.

When people see a crack in a car's windshield, they don't automatically think the car came off of the assembly line that way.

Coins need to be approached in the same common sense way. Learn to concentrate on the small details (such as the obvious smashed area on the I in this instance) and ask yourself, "how did this coin get damaged," rather than, "What kind of error coin is this?"

Until ebay shyster auctions and clickbait online videos were as ridiculously common as they are, most people didn't let excitement over possibly hitting a jackpot (not saying you specifically are) interfere with seeing coins the same was as they would the windshield mentioned above.

People have been sensitized by online shysters so that the idea of "Rare error coin," instead of "How was this coin damaged?" is very prevalent. Don't feel badly b/c you are not alone. :D We get a lot of people asking this kind of thing daily.

The reality is almost every odd looking coin is going to be PMD or something inconsequential to the coin hobby.
