How could I name this kind of error?  |

I would guess severe die damage.
Maybe the feeder finger has broken off, or it's feeding extension movement has been greatly increased in error.
I would also guess the minting press would have automatically stopped very soon after this coin was struck, thus making this individual error type particularly rare.

sadly, your coin has been severely damaged..nothing was in between the die and planchet to make this since you can see some remnants of the design. also, note how the rim is affected..this is from metal being forced out during whatever caused this damage. if this happened in the striking chamber, the collar die would prevent the rim from going out of round at all.

If incused, then severe PMD. |

Because of the lighting, this is incuse on both sides. If raised, the highlights and shadows would be reversed.
That's all I can add.

Another thing I saw on closer examination. The difference in depth and the interrupted horizontal line of the anomaly on the arc of the 5, to me, points to a depression and not raised metal.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I'm sorry, but these are the seller's photos.
When I will receive the coin, I will upload my own clearest images.

celhel5010, no harm done. Let's get to the bottom of this and please do post pics when you have it in hand.

I wonder if someone added a little something to that coin to make it fit into something -- like a piece of jewelry. It's going to be interesting when you get it!  |
