We'll need pictures, please - full shots of both sides and a close-up of the area in question.

But it isn't of colored like this, actually very nice new looking coin, very low patina if any at all, looks uncirculated

Not an error. If you look opposite that area (other side) you'll see the bust. That part of the portrait takes a lot of metal to fill and sometimes that causes the other side to show weakness like in your coin. It can also be caused by "grease" from the machining process. It can fall out of the machine and work it's way into the die. After a lot of compaction, it can get very hard and fill the die recesses causing any coins made to show weakness in that area. In collecting, we call these "greasers".

@HD, first welcome to CCF. Second, based on your description and the Etsy link it does sounds like part of the reverse design didn't fully strike up, perhaps due to grease in the die. There has to be a whole lot of detail missing before these bring a premium, but certainly keep it as a nice example if you want.

I agree with the others. If that's your listing, I would take it down, since there's no value over face value for this.

This is common. Note the information in the description.
