I would also say die chip.
Yeah, I had bought it raw years ago. The toning is definitely odd. I will pull it out and see if it has any evidence of planchet striations.

Nice CAM/DCAM @robec
There is always someone here to give a helping hand. You don't have to know what it is exactly. If you have a question post it.
I don't chase what the minor errors are going for on the internet. Nowadays it's gotten ridiculous.
If you want to familiarize yourself with the terms. This is a great site. http://cuds-on-coins.com/
Those are IDB's Interior Die Breaks. Cuds involve the rim.
The 83 looks like a multiple clash. Have you tried to identify it on MADDIe clashes.

Is this your coin?
I haven't been following the auction prices as of late. I will go $2000 w/BP

Throw it in a flip and come back to it as you learn what to look for.
Will do the finish needs to dry up a bit. And I will post a photo.
That is an extremely low grade IMO. That is unless there isn't any luster. But it looks from your photos to atleast be in the AU range.
I would be worried about the weight. The diameter also looks off in your photo.
Separate names with a comma.
