Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74682 Posts	Posted 07/31/2018 8:35 pm It's a Broken Die Post in the number "8" of the date. This is very common, and has no premium. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 07/31/2018 9:09 pm I agree, and would add that on the rev, it looks like part of the inscription didn't fully strike up. This is commonly attributed to grease in the die which prevents the metal from flowing into all the nooks and crannies. This adds to the character of your coin without really influencing the numismatic value.
