1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

From what I can see in your latest photos it looks like a scratch. Just like JTCC I also wonder if you cleaned the coin?

The first pictures compared to the second pictures make it appear your scrubbed this coin. Scratch marks are in the second pictures.

Doing anything to a coin that will add scratches to the surface will ruin the collectable value of the coin. This includes even small scratches like a paper towel will make.

There is no error on your coin, it is just scratched/damaged from circulation.
