It appears to be a scratch on the coin, and some stains. Next time, when you post, please provide a detailed question about the coin in question, not in the title. it would save both yours and our member’s time, thank you for your cooperation.

Criticism? It is a requirement to provide a detailed question as it was clearly stated in the forum rules, I was just pointing it out in effort to eliminate any confusion in future posts. I was not saying that you are wasting mine or anyone’s time. Thank you for your understanding.

It's a little difficult to see exactly what's going on with the way this coin was imaged....

JMO..... This appears to be a "Older Foreign Substance" on the surface of the coin

@leoland.

As of recent Daniel has asked members to help remind people they need to be following forum guidelines.

See Daniel's recent post concerning this concept:
Proper posting help requested from members

We have had too many posts where people have never taken the time to go through Daniel's 1st topic on the Home page:
Forum guidelines for making posts
Forum guidelines for making posts
B/c people do not take the time to review Daniel's rules, we get numerous posts where we have to keep asking for more and more info in order to give an answer. This not only makes the person posting not get their answer as soon as they would have, but it also means members have to keep asking and returning to the topic to see if enough information has yet been given.

If you go through that link above, and just make sure your posts are according to the guidelines, it will help everyone here.

Thank you.😊

The area where the split is actually a raised area like 2 coins put together. Also does it look like a "s" attached to the y in Liberty? Thanks to all of you.

It might be the "stained" area is a spot of glue or some other foreign substance making the area raised. A short soak in PURE acetone might remove it and cannot alter your coin or its value.

Also please see the following (fun to watch!) short videos on how coins are made. You will see nothing in the process which would produce what is on your coin and, especially when they show how the dies are made, you can see how extra design elements/letters etc. are not going to be possible at the mint.
How Coins & Errors are made:
How Coins (and errors) Are Made


Now to throw in a monkey wrench...there is a rare event called a "dropped letter," which can show an extra letter (but not raised on the coin). Yours is not one of those. Go to error-ref.com and look that up if interested.
