I can't tell much from the pictures. Closeups would be needed. However, I would be willing to guess that most of what you are seeing is either damage or Die Deterioration.

No one sees the G and o in GOD extra letters right above close to rim or the doubled ear or the one in liberty or the word ONE there is obvious something going on and I don't think I'm looking to hard for something not there maybe you're not looking hard enough to acknowledge what I'm seeing I don't think it too hard to see

tooboocoo, I see what maybe some Die Deterioration including a Ridge Ring or line forming around the perimeter. If so devices often get deformed and dragged within it. With current images that's my best guess, I cannot zoom in enough to make out much more than that. Thanks, Doug.

That's sounds pretty rude to me. That's not too nice of you. Also, your pictures are very blurry and not very good, so what do you expect from us?

Not sure trying to be rude to anyone my appoligies and I know the feeling it seemed every time I find something interesting I get shut down I also feel insulted ,I look at alot of coins I know when I see something odd it's usually worth the time to try and bring attention to something there is never anything positive said it seems like only the experts who write the books are the only ones who find worthy coins ,I'm just kind of surprised that I can get comments like I'm looking too hard for something that's not there ,not true if I have to look that hard to try and find something wrong then I would have a problem,I know there are coins out there that are errors that I think some people debunk for whatever reason discouraging collectors like me making us look inferior to them it just dosent make sense all the coins I've submitted there has been no positive feedback except with a few exceptions I feel people need be not so narrow minded and realise that there are possibilities of other people finding something of value or significant enough to to acknowledge the new find and again I don't mean to be rude to anyone and I apologize again thanks for looking

You kind of discredited your own theory. If your finding all these issues all the time then chances are they would be farely common and would not be worth anything, unless you want it for your collection. Just wait till you get a little experience and knowledge under your belt. The things that you see now that you are sure are a unique and rare, will start to show up a lot. You will begin to learn the obvious causes of certain things and be able to tell what is a true anomoly and what is every day wear and tear. I felt the same way you did when I started but you have to understand, most of these people have been doing this for decades. They have seen it all. I won't lie though, sometimes some of the opinions are wrong but remember, youre asking for opinions based on experience. You yourself don't know what it is your looking at, that's why your posting them here. If you don't agree then keep what you like and be on your merry way. If you want to learn then post your stuff and pay attention. Also remember, no one gets paid for helping you out. Trust me when I say we thoroughly enjoy seeing, educating, and helping to identify true errors, varities, and the plain bizarre. Everyone here is constantly learning something new. Every day usually I pick up something I didn't know before. So take all that in and remember what I told you next time you post something.
P.S. read the link about posting coins and pics. You are def gonna need better pics if you want valid opinions. Make sure to describe what it is that you, yourself, are seeing in person, where the issue is(use a clock face to make it easier) and full pics of both sides of the coin along with pics of just the affected area. It will make things easier on everyone. Good luck

Better pics needed.

I second Waynoah83's advice.
