    Looks like the 5 took a hit
    Circulation wear and tear

    I don't see anything. 1935's are pretty common, and they get worn down being in circulation over 80 years.

    Just some post mint damage. Not a mint error.

    When I first saw this I thought she was referencing maybe the die chips in the 3 and possibly between the 3&5.
    But I decided to just skip the thread becz I didn’t understand what she was questioning.

    @RachelRuth ...Trying to not be argumentative, there's no percentage in it and not who I am.

    Paddyman98 guessed you meant the five in his response.
    Michael K saw nothing and gave you a generic response.
    Clawcoins decided to skip your thread because he didn't understand your query either.

    This is why I asked you for a better question, and, frankly, I've seen this before, not only from you. Could I have asked in a nicer way? Yes, I suspect I should have.

    So...returning to the OP...what did you see in the coin that made you want to post?

    With all respect...Spark

    In the same vane, sometimes the answer becomes clear when you figure out the correct question.

    I'm all for deductive reasoning, coupled with experience and wisdom it enables us to provide reasonable answers. But, don't you think the OPer should supply a good question to begin with?

    Sounds good, except the last half of the OP's question has "And a few other areas"

    A few other areas on the Obverse, the Reverse (not shown) or the edge?
    who knows what the question is based upon. Only one person knows that.
    I recall the Last time I questioned what the question was I was called Rude.

    Reminds me of a May 31st post titled "It's been real and it's been fun..."
    and thread titles such as "What happened to this 1999 Dime?"

    I think all Spark is alluding to is for the OP to think about what she's questioning and being more clear about it. As this will help her learn and question what she's seeing and help us answer her question about something specific, instead of something just generically stated.

    We're all here to help people learn. We have tons of newbies post "what's up with this penny" or "how much is it worth and where can I sell it".

    So striving to help people learn is also teaching them to learn how to ask a more specific question.

    A suggestion.

    It might be better to ask “Is this a …… on the date?” instead of an open question. By asking the former, people can provide specific info on why it is or isn’t which should give you a little more information and potential to learn. IMO, asking a generalized question “what is this” indicates that you’re either new and know very little (which isn’t your case because you have been posting for a while), or you don’t want to bother putting in the time to learn. I don’t believe you’re the second type either, but the way you ask questions is almost equivalent to holding out a handful of pocket change and asking me if you have anything valuable

    BTW: Adding more details to your questions also has some drawbacks. You’ll get the short answers and snarky comments if you’re way off base, but once you start accumulating a few wins, your confidence and CT Cred will go up

    I don't think my answer was generic.
    Coins that have circulated for 80 years get smacked around by other coins
    thousands of times or more and this creates hits, wear, etc. The 1935 looks normal to me.

    My comment was directed at the OP, as an extension of what you said. The thought process that goes into her forming better questions may actually provide the answers she wants. We learn by thinking, and asking good questions requires a lot of thought.
