I really need some advice on this coin! Could anybody verify this is an error, or give an opinion on it? Is it worth getting graded? Any help will be appreciated.

Damaged coin. Please see my response in your mercury dime post to save yourself time and money concerning "sending coins in."

I agree with earle42 . This coin was so exposed to the elements that its damaged . Just look at it and anyone can tell. I recommend a very good book for novices .

If you will please let me know what you were expecting, then I might be able to give you an answer for what you believe you see on this coin. The monitor pictures (natural distortion and lines inhibit much analysis) you posted told me only what I posted. It simply looks like a distorted picture of a damaged coin.

As to what kind of damage? Seeing as there are an infinite way for coins to be damaged, I cannot say for sure.

Please give more clues as to what you want to know. Pictures from whatever device you are using, instead of the monitor, are needed for a better analysis.
