1930 LWC/Foreign Planchet? Errors?

From what I can see there is some light MD. But a lot of crud on the coin

No offense, and I know you can only go by the pictures that I give you which aren't very good but I am seeing a distinct 5 showing under the upper "E", and definitely not crud or Gunk attached to the coin for this is part of the coin.....

There may be some die damage, and I think I am starting to see the beginnings of Progressive Indirect Design Transfer (PIDT).

If it was struck on a foreign planchet the surface of the planchet would still be smooth so no raised features would result. If it was struck on a foreign coin a lot more design features would be visible, and would show more on the devices than in the fields.

Conder - Could you further explain PIDT, please.

Through extended use the force of the dies through the planchet can eventually transfer a faint enlarged distorted image of their features onto the opposite die. Coins struck will then show this "ghost" image of the design from the other side. (Hence why it is sometimes called "ghosting".) they should not be confused with die clashes which have sharp edges defining the image from the other side. A PIDT image has faint blurred edges. PIDT is most commonly seen on coins that are thin and sometimes on coins that need high tonnage pressures to coin. Three Cent Silver and gold dollars are very commonly seen with PIDT, as are Kennedy halves. The "halo" often seen around Kennedy's bust and the eagle are the result of PIDT. It also shows up somewhat often on Lincoln cents especially wheat cents form the 20's, and frequently on British and Australian large pennys due to their large diameter and thinness.
