As you see two photos below, I had to examine from different angles. By looking at the S (after United), it seems that the letter S has been depressed incorrectly after the die or is it misprint. Not sure but feels it may be worth having it appraised for verification. What is your Two Cents worth? No puns intended here but maybe it is worth a cent...Haha!

@westoncm, better close-up pics would help, but based on what I can see when I blow up this area and enhance the detail it just looks to me like a well-placed hit. If so that PMD would only serve to decrease the value of this coin. I'm interested to hear what others say, but I'd personally save my money and not send this coin to a TPG.

Just damage on that area. It's post Strike Damage (meaning it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). I also wouldn't send it in to a TPG, as it would be a complete waste of money. It will cost much more than what your coin is actually worth.

Actually it looks like your coin could be worth at least a Dollar.

That's a damaged coin, with the damage occurring after the coin was minted.

Thanks everyone for your input. Spending money for eval is not worth. Just to appreciate the value of its coin value and the value of everyone's input.
