Error?

[AU24K]

Is this an error? If so, what is it called and how much would it be worth?
Thanks....

This is NOT a mint-made error coin. This poor thing was used & abused outside the US mint.

I agree, post mint damage.

But it looks like a raised "blob", not a worn area. Plus the areas directly adjacent to the "blob" look like they didnt' take the strike. Just my "2 cents" worth.

My guess is counterfeit. Crude lettering, botched designs, wonky-looking edge.

There is a chance this was in a fire, then maybe tumbled to clean it up. That would possibly explain any raised areas (bubbling).
