So, back to the OP's question, what is that on the obverse if not a failing die? I'm not finding anything like it in the O105's I'm seeing online.
Yes...I think the color is original and "correct"....just the flip and the photo making the skin look a bit off...maybe @messydesk or some of the...
Grading wouldn't help this coin much, because it has been cleaned on, but you did very well for the price. I was gonna say 60-80 dollars, but I'm...
