No need for a microscope - typically anyone can get good pictures easily with a phone: http://goccf.com/t/422658In fact a lot of people make the mistake of taking a picture of their microscope screen and posting it. Those types of pictures introduce interference lines and hide details. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Looks like staining to me.
Using your phone, take pictures from directly overhead, not from an angle - that will help us see your coin better.
(Every single image of my coins were taken using my cell phone, so it is possible to get good ones with practice.)

I agree, no microscope needed, just better photos would help.  |

I will stick by my original assessment, it is a stain on both sides.

Possibility - just the one shown is more dramatic:  How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash? Download and read: Grading the graders Costly TPG ineptitude and No FG Kennedy halveshttps://ln5.sync.com/dl/7ca91bdd0/w...i3b-rbj9fir2 |

That cup holder looks to clean.
You need to add some coffee, coke, food crumbs. stir and let sit for a month

OK! Thanks, those are much better pictures.
I still think it is staining - the shape of the stain could have been caused by another coin on top and transferring its image to your coin from any acidic liquid that may have contacted both.

No amount of new pictures is going to change anyone's mind, it is staining. What you are describing is impossible to happen during the striking of the coin. It happened after it left the mint so it is PMD |

Staining. Nothing more. All errors occur as part of the minting or die making process. If you still disagree, please explain which part of the process this could occur? I know of no step which would leave that staining. Here is A link to a site developed and maintained by the top error experts in the country. See if you can find anything remotely resembling your coin. https://www.error-ref.com |

Something that helps in cases like this is to know the minting process. There is nothing in the minting process that would produce the type of thing you are asking about (like his shadow) etc. The way the dies are hubbed and then used to mint coins cannot produce an actual shadow image to the side of the effigy. It would be good to fnd some online videos about this to help you understand why we can be so certain this is just staining.
I originally made the graphic quite awhile ago b/c I kept having to inform people they had a cupholder coin. A picture is worth a thousand words...so I started using the graphic instead.
