It was probably just a polished Die. Keep looking! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 01/26/2019 8:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/26/2019 8:11 pm You looking at surface staining. The way to tell if it is from the die is this: It will be raised. The fields are always a fairly flat surface. That is the outside part of the die. The devices are incuse down deeper on the die. So if a coin gets stained, it not the mint fault, it is a usage issue. The coin makes coins to use for transactions. We are the one who are looking at them to see what is there. The longer we look at something, the brain convinces you something is there.
