LivioRazlo New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 5:01 pm Hello all, I am new to coin collecting and recently came across a coin in my collection that I believe has an error in stamping as well as color. Was wanting some opinions from all of you as to what I might have. As you can see from my pictures, it appears to me the coin has been stamped too hard and has a certain color orientation about it that shouldn't be. Now, I do see some oxidation on the front of the coin, but that does not explain the back of it as it is a dark maroon color. Edited by LivioRazlo 12/16/2012 5:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

As for the excess material around the rim, I cannot for the life of me remember what it's called. Edit: Amida got it Edited by yankee1227 12/16/2012 5:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
