OK, I'll bite .... I went back about as far as my eyes would take me. What, exactly is a CirCam? I'll guess that it's a kind of cameo appearance...
Your lowest mintage for your 3 is 5 billion coins. All will only be worth 1 cent, ever.
The penny photos just show a tired, worn die. You have to be careful looking at the CaC "variety" section. There is a semi-correct actual...
With the wear, both sides, I'd say VF-30
Yes, loose in the die for MD. Vicky has been doubled by MD on many dates and denominations.
It's amazing how much BS shows up lately on EBay.
With those photos, you can't see any anomalies.
I don't think that another half dollar would fit the "clip" correctly. It's not a complete, linear arc.
I'm in the corrosion camp and someone trying to remove the crap left.
To me, the curvature of the clip is not linear.
Could it be a die clash from the wheat stem? Your link shows a couple just like it, but die cracks usually aren't that wide.

I'm sorry ... I don't know how to post attachments on this site and I'm not computer literate. You can just remove this post or try to make it...
Since I ask for the 1919 in LordM's new contest giveaway, I thought that I would post a couple old microscope photos of the things that I find...
Entry post. Wow! another contest that will worm its way into my brain. Since the 1864 3 cent is now gone, Ill go for the 1919 Canada Large Cent....
It's a nice coin and a good keeper because of the grade. You will get very little $ from it, so give to some studious lad, as mentioned above.
I was thinking snowblower, if the OP lives north.
It's just die deterioration as the "filled and worn out" suggests.
I don't see any error, unless you are talking about the teeny bud at the base of th e maple leaf stems.
As with the last contest, please count me in. My choice stays the same, the US 2 cents, an important 100th anniversary for something in my life.
Separate names with a comma.
