 Your coin is zinc plated with a thin layer of copper. Someone heated the coin with a torch which partially melted the zinc core, it is damaged. |

A missing letter is most likely the result of grease on the die. Those can be fun to find but would not be considered a valuable error -- especially on a circulated and damaged coin. Keep hunting -- there are lots of fun things to find! |

I need magnifying glasses Yes -- a lot of us are addicted to one degree or another. And yes, you need a good magnification lens. A decent jeweler's loupe isn't too expensive. |
