It's damaged. You over paid for that coin.
PCGS prices are as good as the Red Books prices. They are just a guide. The nickel you show has way too many marks to grade a 68.
I'm not sure but I don't think so. The back is just too nice. Both sides show wear but not that much in reality. I've seen much worse on numerous...
For its age, yes.
Maybe this will help. [ATTACH]
Its not pretty but it is 217 years old! Only 3,131,691 issued but how many have survived? This variety is a small date with the large fraction....

It's worth very little due to the damage.
Looks like a strike through to me.

Damaged by heat, source unknown. Not a mint error.
It's not a cud as it doesn't touch the rim. However it is an interior Die break so that's neat. A keeper for sure but don't plan to get rich on it.
Like all others the PCGS list is just a guide and guides are worthless.
The coin has too much wear to tell. It could be a grease filled Die, a damaged Die or a damaged area. It's copper so it could have been scrapped...
Normally that is where the date would be but if the obverse is rotated it could be a die clash.
In tolerance so normal.
Ever seen a car tire wear? Uneven wear all the way around. Same thing.
Thank you
Tell me it's not so. Almost 2 hours and no ideas or comments?
