I agree with the partial indent scenario.
Found out what? You have a coin? If so lets see a pic.
Yes, it's been plated.
Also you broke rule #1. You said it was tarnished before, which means you cleaned it. You took a coin that if it were a doubled die is now ruined...
You didn't see it because it's not a doubled die. What you have there is flat and shelf like, md.
Definitely environmental damage.
Remember, if it's doubled it's a variety, not an error.
You need to understand how coins are minted. The reason some coins had a wide AM during 98, 99 and 2000 is because proof reverse dies were used...
I'm not seeing it.
Notice how the scrapes go around and over the date? Easy to see it's damage!
No. As worn as the coin is, a strike through would have been gone by now.
Then chances are it happened after it left the mint. Please post a picture of the reverse.
It's a nice coin, but still just a hole filler. Once they're circulated they lose value fast. It's showing signs of vertigris on the reverse.
The E took a hit. I'm not sure about the other. Is the stamped area raised or into the coin?
The bottom of the mint mark isn't a split. It's took a hit.
Online sources are fine, but you have to learn how to grade. Grade is everything! The coin you have is plentiful and quite frankly is worth way...
Plating bubble that's about to burst. Compare it to known varieties and you see it's not even close.
Sorry, but the texture of the coin doesn't even resemble a proof. Besides, I see no S mint mark.
Sorry, but lot's of hits from circulation. Always check for established rpms and doubling.
It's a dime a dozen coin. It absolutely is not worth sending in. I suggest you get a Redbook so you can get an idea about what coins are valued...
Separate names with a comma.
