I like it. It’s a clean honest coin that did well in circulation. From you photos I would say that that is a worn cud on the reverse from 11:00 to...
From the mint mark it’s split plate doubling. That started with zinc cents in 1983, the first year of issue. You can see white shiny metal to the...
I see no mint mark on this coin.
Definitely damaged!
Time to start a token collection. :)
Polished or plated but it ain’t natural.

That’s a great looking coin! Why can’t the US mint coins like that? Congrats on 15,000 posts. :)

How nice to find that in circulation. Bet you were surprised. I know I would be.
