Thanks to all especially the tip about comparing to a proof photo. After all, if you learn what is real, a fake or error becomes more obvious. Makes cents (pun intended).

Since I always check my pocket change, spotting a coin with "Something is not quite right" has become frustrating. I understand wear and tear, I understand that most people do not respect all US Currency as being a representative of our great nation, similar to but never equal as our Flag, but still to be treated respectfully. However, this coin... and forgive my misuse of terms and improper identification of flaws in advance.... seems to have on the "Face" side a very deep stamp and the edge is rolled over plus that line by "In God We Trust";...? What is that? On the "Obverse?" it is very weakly stamped with the "A" at the end of America almost running off the edge or into Monticello. Bottom line;....Are these errors? Rare? Or is this just normal excessive wear and tear? Please give me your input, constructive criticism greatly appreciated. I am attaching best expedited photos.
