Dearborn Moderator United States 97793 Posts	Posted 04/08/2022 5:36 pm It is a spotting on the coin surface, I'm sure it wasn't intentional. Maybe it was in a moisture rich environment for a while - the sets are not air tight Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 04/08/2022 10:00 pm well that item is raised. so that was in-cursed into the die. are you guys sure this is not one of those metal test points. where the mint uses these to measure the hardness of these coins. because I have read some on those marks. the pictures I seen they did not appear like these. they looked like a spare bead. I know you will not find very many of those. I forget the coin count. any way here is another image closer. this is as far as I can get. Report this Post to the Staff
