Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 01/07/2021 3:08 pm When identifying errors or damage you need to have a strong understanding the minting process. It's not just that the coin looks different, but identifying what in the minting process could have caused it. When the anomaly cannot be attributed to a failure this process, it becomes much easier to excluded it as an error. I would be glad to see better images of this coin, but what I see so far really doesn't look like it was caused by something at the mint.

You can also try soaking it in acetone to see if it is any kind of adhesive on the coin. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
