This is a case where you need magnification to see what is going on. The image if the date and mint mark area need to be larger and crop away the un-needed part of the image. About this close:  RPM DDO Note mark above the 7. |

That's what I see, a mark like that. I will try and get better photos. My battery died on my camera and is charging. Plus I have to go cherry picking. lol Happy memorial day!

Awesome! Thanks so much coop! I might look for a filter for my macro lens to get closer photos. And yes, I learned quite a bit today, with your help.
Thank you Slambass:)

I haven't even approached the topic of grading. If I do find something of significant value, with any luck, I will have is sent in and graded. Other than that these coins are for my collection. I know this coin has a nasty finger print, so what would you guys say? Maybe vg50? I haven't a clue.

You could probably call it that. There's not a lot of wear, too bad about the prints. The oils in our skin cause a chemical reaction in the copper. That's why we hold them by the edges. Nice find!  |

Thanks CoinMasters! It seems like the good coins I find have some bizarre damage to them. Keeps it interesting!

Awesome find CountryCharm! Hart413, that's called toning. It can happen, when the oils from our skin gets onto the coins surfaces. Over time, it will change colors, causing what you're seeing on your coin. Errers and Varietys.
