    My opinion of this coin is that it has a grease-mediated radial smear from date left to "LIB" in liberty on obverse and from united right to "AM" in america. This could be evidenced by radial flow lines moving in the direction on the smear. There is no excess wear of rim in affected areas and there is a clear start and stop point of the smear. Another potential error on obverse is located under nose. It appears to be a strike through that fell out and was struck into the coin under the nose. Strike through occurred next to mouth and on chin. I welcome all opinions. Thanks!

    Don't over think things. It's just was struck from really worn dies. Nothing more

    Does that account for the anomaly under the nose?
