The coin itself is not scuffed, nor has it ever been removed from its enclosure. It is in a sealed business card type packing - and the scuffs are just on the exterior of the enclosure.

Hoping to get some opinions on this! I recall purchasing it from a dollar store back in 2001, so this was a cool find!

It looks to me like it's just cellophane/mylar "cracks" from being stretched or pressure applied (something on top of it). It'd say that the clear "top coat" is going to split or tear.

Whoops, now I see that there is something wrong with the coin, or maybe part of the container/card.

@johnmedon What do you see that makes it a "cool find!"? Could you show us a picture of the reverse?

I think the mark at 7 o'clock is just the molding media. I've seen similar on other carded coins.

It looks to me like a rounded rim outside of the struck area, the collar is not round it is multi sided.
Really like to see more and better pics.

I'm happy to take more pictures, and I will have my canon rebel xti camera back in the next week as well - which will allow me to take far better pictures than what my phone allows... It's most definitely not the packaging - there is absolutely a defect of sorts right at the 'E'
