That's a worn die strike. You can clearly see the striations on the field. Worn die strikes cause die deterioration doubling. Considered Worthless doubling which has nothing to do with a true Doubled Die variety.
Thanks Paddyman. I can see what I thought was a die chip too. Just seems to be a nice curved arc above it. That"s why I wanted some one else to eye ball it.
I get what your saying. Could you please see attached enhanced photo and fine tune the explanation for me? Do the two red lines outline the chip ? If so, what lies between the two yellow lines ? The curve between the yellow lines seem to go up and over the lower half of the s .
Even though there is no added value, these are fun to find and collect. It adds a little more variety to your collection and improves your knowledge of coins.
