what's the error?

 

Sorry but it's just damage. The coin has had a hard life.

 

I'm leaning toward damage, but just to be sure, I'd like to see a close-up of the area in question.

They used to call him Ben now it's Nicky......

 

A close-up of that spot could be telling. Since the rest of the coin shows no dirt or toning and that spot is rust colored, it could be a strike through of a ferrous metal of some sort. Close-up pictures could tell that.

 

The descriptions on the 2X2 are just plain inaccurate

 

Yeah! Who ever heard of FBL.......Full Bust Line........or WMC.........Weapons of Mass Confusion.

Is it possible that ole Ben cut himself shaving? From the only photo posted it looks like PMD.

 

Looks like a small piece out of the die

 

That Franklin has had a rough life. Best case scenario, it's cleaned, ugly, and worth around melt. As to the error, if you're referring to his chin, it's either a really big ding or a strike through of some sort.
