Initially was looking at this as maybe a DDR but then I found all kinds of stuff. I have pretty much ruled out feeder finger damage. But, not sure if I am seeing Trails, Lineal Plating Blisters, defective planchet... a combination of things or something else I don't know about. Sorry photos are not fun to look at, they are not fun to take either :(

Those are trails...did you check for a match on BJ's site ? They are pretty strong trails.

Thank you Roger, I did not check BJ's site yet because I was not sure if it was trails. They seem so much thicker than what I have seen before.

Ok, think I have successfully attributed it as a 1998P-1DER-026T. Marker photos are attached.

Thank you Jay! Heck now I am still kinda wondering if it might possibly be a DDR? I know it's hard to tell by my photos of the die clashes everything looks so thick and distorted. Roger, what do you think about the FG? I know you are probably gonna say "no" because the die clash in bay 4 looks too low but you know how my camera makes things look goofy :) Can a coin be two things?

Nice trails... A coin can have a number of errors/varieties on it... If it just happens to all come together at once... I see what looks like clashing and the FG is interesting but the pic is a little to dark!!!

Ok, thank you I will try again. This hobby really pushes me past my limit in terms of knowledge, ability and technologically speaking. But as long as you guys are willing to hang in there with me, I'm up for the challenge!
Now... the kids outside might get a tad scared when they hear the crazy lady screaming and see a bright orange zorb flying through the window!

Ok Roger and Jim, I took the FG photo upside down and rotated it to try to get a better lighting angle. It's a tad better.

Much better... Thanks... Looks a little thick but I do not think it is a DDR... Looks more like die wear!!!
