very nice find 20 years ago
my opinion is that you might want to use the word "cud" on ebay . you might get more hits but again that is my opinion
i added it to my watch list - just curious of what you get - snowman

Where's the cud? I see none.
Looks like a strikethrough to me.

Is it me, or does it look like this coin got cooked?
By no means am I experienced with this type of error, but for some reason, If this were a broken die on the reverse side, wouldn't the lines be alittle more defined, or does the zinc actually melt during the minting process?
(If I had to guess, I would think it's a broken reverse die that would cause this type of error, the metal extruding into the direction of broken die, but from the picks, it's hard to determine if that's what happened. Someone more experienced than me needs to chime in).

My gut says that this is not a real error. I'm sorry but that just doesn't look like a broken die error to me...nor a strike through.

The reverse is burnt.
Further proof is provided by the rippling affect from the center of the burn.

I do not think that it was torched. The "cud" area still has the normal cladding blisters. If it were torched, either the copper would be gone or it would be one big blister. However, I have no idea what did happen to the coin.

I have never seen anything like it, does not look natural at all. There is not enough metal " lacking " on the obverse to fill that reverse " bubble ". Somethings wrong.

Well, I just added some more pictures to the ebay listing, and added a GUARANTEE that the coin would be graded as a mint error,,,,
