    it has nice toneing but there are interesting lines on the obverse and the bottom reverse. 200425230044755.jpg 200425230038884.jpg 200425230022820.jpg 200425225959471.jpg

    My call is that it is PMD (Post Mint Damage) due to a harsh cleaning.

    Not sure about the lines. And at this point they do not matter. And the toning is not nice, it is chemically induced from being cleaned. No error. No value above 1¢.

    Just a 70 year old coin that has been in circulation a lot and cleaned.

    Looks like a judgment error (on the part of whomever cleaned the coin). They're very common. No added value.
