Tunnioc, I'm still pretty new to numismatics and had to look that up haha. Thank you for the thumbs up. I found this on youtube(jump to 1:27), and after seeing it, do you guys think it would be worthwhile having it slabbed? If so, what TPG would you recommend? Here's the link:

You are welcome. On youtube video links, there are other videos linked on the page that may or may not be family friendly. We just prefer users (mainly young users) are not be exposed to questionable content because of CCF, if possible.

It's excessive die wear just like the Coin World article said and what the last topic about this concluded.

That's crazy that the de wear could get that bad to cause that but I would think by the time it was finally pulled it must have struck a boat load of coins to some varying degree with similar wear.

This is not a normal pattern of die wear. What we have is a die deformation error. The distortion may have occurred quickly and prematurely. Every specimen looks the same as this one.

This is definitely a keeper! It's a Die Deformation error as Mike Diamond said.

Thanks for clearing that up Mike. Possible lack of tempering the die?

It's quite possible that the die was improperly tempered or quenched. Poor quality die steel is another possibility.

Thank you very much Mike Diamond for taking a look. I already knew what this was since I saw that Coin World article last year. Definitely a very interesting thread and error coin.

I have a question. Does anybody know where the majority of these are being found? I want to know, because I want to find at least one, so I can add it for my collection.

I found mine in Berwick, Pennsylvania. I think the article mentioned PA as well.
