I found somthing unique. There is an unusual groove between edge and plate.(Left Side)

"UNITED" cut through the groove clearly. I don't know it worth or not, but know it's rare and something I've never seen.

Give me your opinion, folks.

Just a red X. Had to copy/paste the url (http://my.dreamwiz.com/seandoll/cent1.jpg) into the address block to see the pic. Must be one of those anti-linking pic hosts.

Not sure what you're talking about. Plate?

What I see is a die crack between the T and E of UNITED. Very common. The other thing I see is the raised area running through the top of UNITED and down along the rim to the bottom of ONE. This is another common occurance in the 80's and early 90s. This is caused by uneven pressure being applied during the striking process. It's almost as if you are seeing the raised outline of the obverse die rim that was struck too deep. There are no premiums associated with these types of striking errors. I hope this helps somewhat.
