$1 Oil error?

It doesn't appear to be struck through oil.

I can't think what would cause this, is there any sign if it being raised above the rest of the surface of the coin, as in small puddles of say glue or resin?

The coin may have had some chemical applied to it that has affected the colour, not sure what chemical would do it.

glue removal?



...lol, from past reading of posts regarding this particular subject this appears a lot

Have a look at topic on 5cent coin error from snappy1 about 2 down from this topic, this might be what your looking for. Thanks snappy1

O silly I am putting my coins in your folders to prevent them turning weird.
None of mine were stored in 2x2. They have been stored in a tissue in a box.

I seen one or two that went weird when stored in zip bags, they tarnished with spots on them and I put them back to circulation and looked for better ones.

This one just appeared different; I might soak the coin later on and see if it comes off with a cotton bud.

It would be awesome if it was a mixed planchet
