We like to see both sides of the coin.
Slight off-center strike.
Typical post mint wear and damage.

Let me try and get some better pictures just wanted to know if it’s worth any to keep

 

Hi & welcome to Coin Talk. If you are thinking about doubled dies, and this year was popular for them, this does not appear to be one of them. It looks like a regular, circulated buisness strike. Otherwise I'm not sure what it is you might be wondering about as to it's having any value over face value.

 

No. Nothing I see makes this coin have more value than $.01.

 

Technical term:

Spare change.

 

very slight misaligned die ? MAD

 

That part below the date on the coat could be from struck-through debris.

 

I would keep the coin and mark it, 'Misaligned Die' and use it as a reference.
Sorry, nothing more revealed with new photos.

 

Thanks for the info guys

 

I think I see coin metal pushed up at the bottom of the mark which would rule out a strikethrough.

 

Welcome @Mahamid14. It might be helpful if you posted what you saw that made you believe it was anything special. Posting "any thoughts on this?" makes us guessing what you are asking. Good luck.

 

I'm talking about around that part. It doesn't look like any PMD to me. It looks like something funky happened there when the coin was struck. Neither do I think the irregularity was on the die.

 

If it had been caused by a strikethrough, there would not be any metal raised along the edge of the mark. The die, itself, would have prevented this.
