Grease in die? Usually most common cause of lost detail in little nooks like that. If it were incuse I could buy it was a chipped die.

 

Worth more than face value?

 

I wouldn't think so sir but I am not an expert in modern coins. Hopefully @statequarterguy or another modern collector can chime in and answer you with more knowledge of these.

 

Oh well it is worth something to me as it is my first "error coin"

 

Without a better close-up, my first impression is that the tip of the star took a hit and it is PMD. It looks like the metal on the eastern side is pushed up slightly. I could be wrong, but like I said, I'd need a better close-up.

I got you covered.

 

Is there a close-up of the star (alone) coming?

Sure, I just woke up in the living room with no trace of being there so I feel very confused.

 

I was confused I said that I would get you that picture but did not... Close up for Chris and anyone else who can help.

 

Bump I think Chris has something to say about it just did not get the close up soon enough.

 

Getting closer, now an in focus closeup will help.

 

I am using an iPad and I am new to this how about you tell me how to take a good picture?

 

How is this?

 

An ipad, or most phones aren't good enough to take anything but quick snapshots. A clip-on closeup attachment might help ( https://www.opensky.com/vistashops/...6ff801001d34&gclid=CIu2vcGrsMYCFdgKgQodsMIG7A ). You need an actual camera with macro abilities to do the work of a closeup camera.
