just know I have seen many coins with many different errors that people have tossed away thinking it was "man made". Small objects falling into where the coins are stamped, etc. Who really knows. If it's man made "Man made"? If it's not "Man made" then who made it? Every coin ever made has been "Man made" lol. Coins are not naturally occurring items. The issue with this coin is, was it made in the U.S. Mint in this condition, with holograms on it? The answer is NO, this coin did NOT come from the U.S. mint in this condition. "Some one" outside the mint produced it, and therefore is considered damage. Not a "maybe", the answer is PMD, period.  |

Thanks Merclover, I don't agree with you and you can lose the cockiness and attitude Mr. Know it all. Nice way to greet a new member. Thanks Bro. Let me know when the US mint hires you for your professionalism with coins.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence, Westman. You say you're 100% sure it's not glitter, but give no reason why it can't be. Unless you can substantiate that claim, I'm afraid I'm not buying it. I can very easily tell you why I think it *is* glitter: right size/shape, seems to be made of reflective mylar/plastic, appears to be slightly raised above the surface of the coin, consistent with being stuck on, and I have seen similar things in the past that *were* glitter. Why are you convinced it is *not* glitter, and especially why are you convinced it is an error rather than PMD? |

100 percent not raised above the surface of the coin. As I've stated, it's flush with the coin and even on Lincolns nose there is one that follows the shape of his nose perfectly. Guess you have to have the coin in front of you to be seeing what I'm seeing and get off the theory of it being Strictly PMD. I understand what you are saying, and it's possible, but you need the coin in front of you to actually see what I'm seeing. It's 100 percent not glitter. |

None of the shapes are raised. They are all completely flush with the coin. I've even tried scraping them off and it's impossible. They are embedded into the coin. PMD? Yes possible. Something no one is aware of happening at the mint? Possible. I've seen coins where a staple got embedded into a coin. Think beyond PMD. |

http://www.rptoolz.com/?p=202 Both coins in question were probably made with a hexagon punch and die tool set similar to the one I posted. Neither coin was produced, minted, or struck by the US mint.Both coins are Damaged coins and this topic should be locked down as there is nothing more to gain. As they say you can lead a horse to the water but you can't make him drink it.  Looks like a 1/4 or 3/8 punch on the coins. Take the Hexagon hammer die place on coin and strike with a hammer and make as many impressions as you like

Its 100% glitter. Both coins. Not embedded. That how it looks. Soak them in acetone and use a toothpick. Not worth sending in to get graded. Spend them. When my daughter wakes up Ill show you

Coins can be and are altered in many ways. If you can imagine what could be done, someone has done it, and yes there are a lot of people with time on their hands. The time and effort required and the lack of a sensible reason is not negative evidence.
Can we have an extreme close-up picture of the hexagon?

For the past few years, I rolled coins for a local elementary school that they got following "Ice Cream Day" sales every Wednesday. I was allowed to search through the coins for doubled dies and other coins that I collected, as long as I replaced any coins I took out. Every week I would find one or two quarters covered in glitter just like this. At one point, one of these quarters happened to be a Harper's Ferry DDR that I had not yet found at that point. I soaked it in acetone and the glitter came right off. Kids + Quarters + Glitter Glue = "Holographic Mint Error" I guess. You're crazy to think this would actually take time and effort to do. Kindergartners do this during recess on a daily basis. |

I understand your experience but there is no way this is glitter. I understand why you all think it's glitter but this is EMBEDDED into the coin. It all the shapes sit flush with coin and follow all the lines of the details in the face and shapes etc. 100 percent not glitter. What is it? I have no clue. The person that said it sounds like it could have been punched with a hexagon punch sounds like a theory, but then what was it filled with after being punched out because the metal is shiny.
