I'm interested in the little bit of reeded edge before the edge under "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the 'Y' in LIBERTY. Not sure if this is usual on halves

This is known as catastrophic die damage for sure. Look it up on Error-ref. The die was damaged significantly, and thus this error was formed. You can see where some wire was struck-through and if I'm not mistaken, there is also a Cud there. Awesome error! |

That's awesome news.. This is my first ever actual coin error I have found or own for that matter.. I have a few off center strikes but nothing of this level.. I will have to go read more into it.. Thank you for the link CoinCollector as well as the information  Ok so now comes the question... Is it worth getting slabbed and if so whats a round about estimate of what this coin might go for in auction? I will go check ebay as well but I have no experience with a coin like this.. Thanks in advance |

This looks like a heavy grease/debris strike. But know for sure, let's call in the expert?

It's definitely an odd one. Would like to know for sure.

Looks like coarse-textured "grease" within which was embedded some discrete objects. When it's in its "sticky" stage, the grease can capture bits of discrete material. As with this case, the nature of the debris usually cannot be determined.

Thank you Coop and Mikediamond for taking a look. So in your honest opinion do I have anything here worthwhile or valuable or is it just a keeper and something cool to keep in the collection?

Also I would be willing to send it to either of you two for further examination if need be.. Just throwing it out there as an option because as was said it is an odd one and if further examination helps to attribute it then I would be fine with that.

It's an interesting error, but its market value does not warrant slabbing.
