It looks like it's in a mylar flip. If the distortion is in the plastic, it can appear like it's on the coin surface. I've been fooled this way before.
If the coin is fully raw, you definitely have something worth sending to Leroy.
I have a group going out to Leroy next week. If you would like to send the coin to me, I'll pre-screen it, provide my opinion, photograph it, and then piggyback it with my coins for his examination.
If you would prefer sending it to him yourself, I'll PM you with his info.
I have been fooled on bourses with bad lighting into thinking things like that which end up being a fold in the 2x2 carboard holders' plastic or something similar. It crosses into the device so I am inclined to guess that is what you have there. A gouge would be a total winner if it was the case though.

The coin is not in a plastic holder.

Thanks. The coin is fully raw. I collect mostly gold coins and don't know this series very well. How do I get a hold of Leroy?

I'm about 100% sure that the coin is not in a holder...
Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.
