I had completely forgotten that I opened it this past summer. I'm not sure now if I should have done that. I guess it all depends on if this is indeed an authentic US Mint error. FTB started a thread about one of his Ike error coins, and that discussion prompted me to look at this one again. So, here it is. Thoughts? Explanations? I have no idea how something like this could have happened. Same shot - different lighting: The reverse of the coin seems unaffected: At an angle- as you can see the reeded edge is also unaffected: Looking forward to your comments. . . .
