I can't find in catalogs (online) this kind of mint error. What approximate price could be? Is it worst to be graded?
Thanks.

I believe this is a gouge in the coin, not a mint error. Post mint damage. Did you clean this coin after clearer images are requested?

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.
