    Those are called 'rim nicks' -
    it's damage on the coin;
    you can see where whatever
    it was that caused the rim
    damage also went into the field
    on the upper right side of the nicks.

    It's a damaged coin, and not an error,
    I'm sorry to say.

    That background looks familiar. Or maybe not.

    Post mint damaged coin nothing special

    1997-Present

    link or not to link is the question, no buyers, little traffic, excuses from people for not clicking and the amount of hate this forum has for me are the issues

    Now if the wood grain that is on the table were on the coin, you'd have something.
