Photo is s little out of focus but they look like
die chips which are not classed as an error.

If you zoom on you see an s in between the 1 and the 8. Also a small 7 or upside down 2 above the 7. Just odd.

Not sure what they are.  Errers and Varietys.

This coin has AU detail but appears to have been crudely re-engraved on the obverse plus has been harshly cleaned. The weird features around the date might be from die chips or cracks, but given the obvious damage I'd assume PMD is more likely. |

While some of you ponder this question, what do you think the grade could be?

I agree with Jaobler, like someone want to start a art project, can't assign a grade since there's damage on obverse and appeared harshly tooled.

It honestly doesn't looked cleaned or reengraved to me. I bought it like this. I think it looks nice. What are giveaways to you guys to why you think this?

It looks pretty obvious to me  |

There is no doubt that the coin has been horribly altered but what the OP originally asked about is from a clash along with other areas that are very obvious. Everything in yellow is from clashing. There is a link below of a different year but gets the point across. MDC link. https://www.maddieclashes.com/adc-5c-1862-01/ -makecents-

So here is the question. I got this with intention of sending it put for grading because of the obvious error and I thought it was very nice looking even if you guys say it is cleaned. If I do, get it attributed, would you recommend the conservation service?
