CarlOmaha Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 02/16/2019 2:32 pm Kind of an orange peel look to this one. Mint mark is difficult to make out. Would this be a proof gone bad? D or S? I'm assuming post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75667 Posts	Posted 02/16/2019 2:40 pm No, it's not a Proof. Just a normal, heavily damaged Business Strike. It's Post Strike Damage ( PSD). Value is only face value now. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/16/2019 6:20 pm The rim is present, so I'm learning more so as a torched coin. Heated excessively. Nothing during the striking process affected this coin, it was altered in circulation. PSD Report this Post to the Staff

CarlOmaha Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 02/28/2019 9:45 pm I now wonder if somebody tried to gold-plate it. It is more like gold (gold leaf) than copper/zinc/bronze. Report this Post to the Staff
