I see some random marks, circulation damage, could be a small die chip or something, nothing more.
All were struck on the same size planchets, no difference between regular strike, sms and proof. That is very slightly overweight, might have...

About the only chance of finding one is from proof sets that haven't been checked. You are not going to find one in circulation.
Tough to say how many are still around. I wouldn't put much stock in how many have been graded, many, maybe most, colonial collectors prefer...
