This is caused by die deterioration, and unfortunately it is quite common.
It seems like that is how it always works out for me too. The one roll where I find a good FS variety will be the one roll where there is only one...
Great find! Usually where there is one, there are others in unc rolls. Is this the only example you pulled?
LSD?
Nice find. Might be RPM024.
The mint mark took a hit which flattened and expanded that part of it.
The coin also appears to have been broadstruck.
Nice. I'd like to see the reverse too.
Die clash along with some die damage.
Since this one is in the Cherry Picker's Guide, PCGS will grade it with the attribution. They are going to give you the best resell value.
Nice find!
Thanks for posting the MM locations. The reason that I asked was that I suspected these weren't from the same die and I wanted to to illustrate...
Your coin is a large date.
It's possibly an RDV-006, but I just can't tell for sure from the photos.
It's a die crack. Very common.
Can both of you post photos of the mint mark location?
What you are seeing on the lips and throat is MD. The 4 appears to be Class 8 doubling. This was very common on 1964s. Whether it's 006 or not...
It's been plated after it left the mint. Possibly with mercury.
Looks normal to me.
Edit-The first photos appear to show class 6 doubling, but the closeup photos appear to show MD. It's hard to tell with the lighting. 2nd...
Separate names with a comma.
