looks to me there's lot going on here...am I right on any of these? (Hopefully you're not laughing, I'm new a this...) 1- the sloped step 2- the columns on right center are shifted/fatter 3- the column tops look uneven/slanted 4- 1 pic shows the tops of the 2 outside bays have a 3rd 'stepdown' 4- there looks to be a almost flat slanted 2nd 'L' in Pluribus 5- I think there's slight doubling in the 'ca' in America (top side of both the bottom of C and the crossbar and top of A 6- coin also has a die clash - I see the 'Y' in 2nd bay, I think the back of his neck in 4th bay(can't see in these pics), and chin outline in 8th & 9th bay I had to scan several times and rotate coin to get these to show If anyone thinks I may have something here I could try an upload off site and link for better views to confirm        |

I an not an expert but I think the columns look wrong. The date on the obverse looks quite uneven especially considering how little wear there is on the high points -- like the hair. I'll check back here later to see what the experts have to say.....  |

I am seeing a very worn out die on the reverse. A real nice die clash on the reverse.The obverse looks pretty normal for a '92 to me. I would put it in a 2x2 and keep it.Nice. John1  |

ok, I'm working on rescanning at a higher dpi and cropping to only show smaller areas and will post. I did check out the link and that's not a match. The more I look at it, I don't think the CA is doubled as I had stated above. What would cause that extra slanted step at such severe angle and leave the immediate surrounding areas normal?

It is not an extra step. I would either be a die crack or a die scratch, the smoothness of it leads me to believe it is a die scratch(scratch on the die= raised line on the resultant coin).

I think JW Booth is hiding behind that 4th column.
Interesting marks.

You do have a dual event die clash, but other than that, I think it is die wear that has affected the columns.

obviously that sloped step is the wheelchair ramp. can't believe no one has figured that out.  |

Die scratch from something that made a mark on the die that touched the mid devices. (Possible wire brush mark on die)
