When you come here asking for information, and when someone tries to respond to your inquiry you reject it and say "don't make up answers", thus implying that you already know the information you said you didn't have…
The obvious thing to observe about this coin is that it is very circulated. While circulation wear doesn't change the position and size of features, it can distort them, thus making comparisons with nominally identical pieces unreliable. Double-check what you think you see, and don't just reject an opinion because it doesn't agree with yours. So, for instance, the photos you present make it appear that there's a light-coloured line running through ELIZABET — which looks like a metallurgical flaw, perhaps. It does not appear, from the photos, to be a raised feature such as would be caused by a die crack. Maybe that's a deficiency of the photos, but getting angry because we can't see in the photos what you see in your hand isn't going to help anything.
But here's a question : have you weighed this coin? Have you done anything to check the composition? "Unreported varieties" are sometimes actually counterfeits. I'm not saying it's a likely answer, but you might try to rule it out.
