I just inherited a coin collection, and sorting through the coins came across this one. I can’t find anything searching the Internet. Could this be an error coin?

re-post that photo here on this forum and let some experts decide, also, is it a 1980 - P, D or S? I just looked at all three and there are no PCGS listed varieties like what you have in the photo.
Welcome to the forum. It would be good to post close pics of the complete obv and rev of a coin. Good luck. Peace Roy

Welcome to the forum!
One question, Jakefromstfarm what are you wearing?
It looks like you may have roller damage from the coin being on the end of a roll and the rolling machine scratched it.
Bramn8r … having trouble understanding how to post here. It is a 1980 S.
I have a professional experience in stamping. Most of the stampings that I have observed have characteristics that define the die. I have refrained to comment on coin stamping because I know there are experts in coin collecting. However, this coin has an indication that the stamping either was a single hit that had a problem with the die or it was part of a progressive die that formed the 11 straight edges of the coin only to follow up with a circular die to form the internal features… creating the curricular features that I have identified. I have not seen any of the circular die marks in any of the coins I have viewed on collector websites… I am not claiming this coin is an error coin, I just want to find someone that can confirm what I believe it’s a progressive die issue.
What he said.
Scratched it? Why would a circular impression occur on opposite sides at the same time and it would be considered a scratch?
Can someone describe the stamping process of this coin?
A website shows a circular planchet error without the coin edge facets … indicating that the edges are formed after the center detail. See below.

Until the site accepts you as a full member (you're still listed as an applicant on your profile page as of this morning) you can't post pics. When you can, post focused, cropped pics of the full coin
Based on your description, I cannot see how your coin could be caused during the minting or die making process, but pics will help. The are many things that can cause post mint scratches on a coin. One common cause of circular scratches are coin rolling machines
Here are some sites that describe the coin and die making process

Thanks Oldhoopster … it looks like rolling machine damage.
