We'd need a better, clearer close-up of the entire obverse. You don't need to put it next to another coin. Chris
Take a new photo of the coin by itself. Use a copy stand or tripod to stabilize the camera. Crop out all of the unnecessary background. Resize the image before posting it here. Otherwise, I can't help you. Chris
Judging by your photos, what you have is a dryer coin. Dryer coins are the result of being inside a dryer for a prolonged period; thus, your coin would fall under the category of post-mint damage.
I think you are being generous with that potato - there isn't a single part of the image that's in focus. I wonder if that is a record.
