PS your coin is a Variety, not an Error.
Nice FS-102, Die stage A. XF/AU grade probably $10 to $30 at the most. Depends on the buyer. This one sold for a little over a $100 10 years ago....
If it is a copper spot as I think. The conserving/light dip would turn the spot pink/ temporarily. There is except it would be more noticable in...
