some grease in the die and a late die stage, looks like a Ridge Ring is forming. These wouldn't ad any premium to the coin though unfortunately.

Please state what you think is an error when posting.
This saves us having to look over the whole coin.
All I can see on yours is either a slight Struck Through Grease or damage on the 5.
Pictures aren't sharp enough or large enough to say which.

This looks like the 'classic' worn die '55 cent, complete with the 'poor man's doubled die' emergent on the date. Would like to see a pic of the reverse--large and sharp. Could be die cracks and die chips. These 55 cents are known for all kinds of interesting features.

Thank you for the responses so far.
I guess what I thought I might have been looking at was a possible broad strike. I was judging by the condition of the obverse.
Now understanding why a pic of the reverse would be needed considering the reverse of the coin looks to be relatively normal.
I hope the pics are considered better quality and helpful.
Still learning the whole picture thing.

Once again thanks in advance.
Also, I'd this goes well I may try you opinions on what I think is woody coins that zI learned about on here.

Here was the extra obverse pic I took today, I added the on from yesterday by accident.
