The bottom right side of the building on the reverse looks slightly bent and shorter than the left.the two coins shown are both 1985 for comparison.

What you see going across the columns is a linear plating bubble.

What I'm talking about is the bottom right corner where the r.g. initials are.in the photo with two coins, the top one is the odd one.

Probably a minor anomoly during the striking process. The mint churns out billions of coins
at a rate of about 750 per minute so there are bound to be minor variations happen.
Certainly not anything that would be attributed as an error as it is so minor.
Keep it if you like but I doubt there is any extra value.

The columns appear to have doubling on all the photos until the last one. I'm leaning on the idea the doubling is caused by your lighting. Try diffusing the light to tone down reflection and shadows.

Yeah, the Memorial looks "bent" - may be a continuation of that linear plating bubble cutting through/under that area.

yes I see it maybe a start of a lamination then struck to create a tilted effect, which also made doubled pillars?

On Copper coated zinc planchettes lamination "errors" don't occur. But them darn plating bubbles sure as heck do......

I was wrong, the shadow of the post on steps fooled me, coin looks normal other than plating bubbles
