What's the weight of your coin? Just curious.

Could be rim damage, but perhaps instead the earliest start of a rim Cud? I'm not sure. A really good close-up image might help. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Thank you Coinfrog! Errers it weights 11.36 g I have seen a lot of coin with that on the rim so I assume that thats no an error because its pretty common I guess. But the weakness in that part is my question. I found fews 1971 and 1972 with the dame weakness in the same area.   gigi2110

Looks like it might be a case of pre-strike planchet damage.

Thank you mikediamond for take your precious time and come to see my coin!  My apologies for the silly question, does that mean that this coin is worth keeping? gigi2110

Good job spotting that weakness and realizing it might be something interesting worth looking into. Quote:
... I found fews 1971 and 1972 with the dame weakness in the same area. These other coins might be similar or in a similar location, but because of the "randomness" of the placement of the planchet into the striking chamber, they shouldn't be in the exact same location. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
