Thank you much...I'm looking forward to feedback etc.. I find it very interesting that the bottom of the Monument looks folded.

Looks like some type of Struck Through error.

I sure hope we can get to the bottom of what this actually is.

Great question Halo, I should have done that. I will have this answer later tonight .

Question, what weight would the make it more valuable that the other?

Looks like a thinned planchet issue, but on the obverse? Weight would be helpful.

I'll point to the reverse first as it shows evidence the planchet was most likely under weight at the time of strike.

Circulation has taken more of a toll on the obverse. Either a split planchet before strike or rolled thin planchet with a large lamination after strike. I lean towards the first one.

The two impressions behind the bust, I'd like to get verification that's what they are. Impressions or raised? I see impressions one minute and raised the next, especially when I zoom in on them.

If impressions, then strike through or another possibility is rolling indentions pre-strike. Thanks, Doug.

This would appear to be a planchet derived from rolled-thin stock. That accounts for the weak strike. The obverse features a complex struck-through error consisting of a coarse substance (probably a type of "grease") plus two discrete pieces of debris. The increased aggregate thickness due to the presence of the the obstructing material accounts for the stronger strike in that part of the coin.

Thank you guys so very much for your feedback and efforts.
How rare is this?

What's a guesstimated value of this piece?

The combination is certainly rare. As to value, it's hard to say. Such coins don't come up for sale very often.
