John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/21/2020 04:19 am to CCF. It is called Ridge Ring,a form of worn die. No added value. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 10/21/2020 06:12 am @joe, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree with @john1 about the Ridge Ring and would add that the lightly struck ES of STATES on the rev is due to the metal flowing into the base of Abe's bust. If some other area was lightly struck then that might be due to a grease-filled die.
