Is that a double strike on the A? I'm just not sure where the extra line came from......and if it is an error what kind of value would that place on my coin?

Welcome to the forum

Not an error, photo a little out of focus but looks like a small die crack to the right of the A

Looks like a die break - no added value, sorry

The letter C beside the double strike and then all that weirdness in the side left hand side of the coin, that stuff is probably nothing......but the C and A are definitely errors.....but what kind of value does that put on my coin?

I think your imagination is getting the best of you.
It is not a double strike on the A, a double strike would affect the whole coin, not just one letter.
Also you cannot have phantom letters or numbers suddenly appear, what you see is just damage, not
an error in any way. If you increase the size of a photo enough, you can see all sorts of irregularities.
Any increase over 10 X is irrelevant as it would not be recognized by any TPG.

Yes I agree with coinguy. I think you have a die crack but that’s as far as it goes. I have a tendency to save any die crack I find . But don’t expect any extra value from it.

I see no error at all, except if a TPG graded it as VF+, then that's the error. You have alot of surface damage, but no doublings or mystery numbers or W's for C's. If you magnify the image any more, you may see gypsies dancing around the C.
