I see a die chip (partially broken post) on the first R of RIVER. Also, looks like some letters have some Machine Doubling.

Would this coin be valuable?

Perhaps give us one quick overall of the front and back? Right now, I'm not seeing anything to bring it over face value. Also, others will weigh in with their own additional opinions as the night wears on.

@Greasy Fingers, for the closeups I use a( Elikliv 4.3 inch LCD Digital USB Microscope Endoscope Record 1000X Magnification Zoom, 8 Adjustable LED Light, Micro-SD Storage, Camera Video Recorder for Repair Soldering ) from Amazon, 49.99 dollars. For the overall pictures, I used my phone camera.

I think Spence is spot on and unless we're missing something this is a coin worth face value. The doubling on the incuse lettering is something you'll see a lot of, and it can be confusing because it looks like what a lot of us have been taught to look for as far as doubled dies. For the lettering around the reverse rim, those letters are incuse on the coin, therefore raised on the die, so when a coin shears against the die and creates Machine Doubling, it actually increases the apparent size of the incuse devices on the coin (opposite from what most have learned -- " Machine Doubling looks shelf-like and reduces the size of the devices"). Also, the modern, single-squeeze doubled dies are typically different from the older ones in that they generally appear smaller and near the center of the design, although that's not a certainty, so you'll still want to check the full coin. Hope that is useful info and not just telling you stuff you already know. Figured I'd put it out there in case it would be helpful.
