ZERO errors, the coin is trash and was damaged after it left the mint. We call them hammer jobs, or vise jobs. The coin was squeezed or...
Even in that condition and with the scratch the coin can range between $500.00 and $1000.00 depending upon who is looking for one to add to their...
Hi, It is a coin struck by a very worn die. It is not an error and to be truthful, your money would have been better spent purchasing a coin...
