I think it could be possible die break or another coin stuck to die during strike or just a really bad doubled die. I'm not sure but I posted pics below. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19183 Posts	Posted 05/30/2022 07:13 am Agree with the above--post-strike damage, a good dose of staining, and some accumulation of crud. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96800 Posts	Posted 05/30/2022 09:28 am Looks like a stained coin to me so far. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Batman357769 New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 06/01/2022 11:11 am I will try to get a better pic of the reverse in good detail. I thought it was damaged too until I took a picture with one of my cameras. Looked like it was struck really bad while rotating. Or maybe it is just damage but my better camera is way better. A bunch other coins in question I'll try to post eventually also. Thanks for taking time to check it out Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21620 Posts	Posted 06/01/2022 11:51 am Better pictures will not really prove anything, instead post photos of your other coins. There is nothing on that coin that can't be attributed to damage and nothing that can be be attributed to an error. Report this Post to the Staff
