Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 05:35 am Looks like solder added to the coin post mint so it would be damaged. The colour is off and iv never seen any die break look like this. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97728 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 09:05 am I'll have to say that with the irregularity of the 'thing' on this coin, that it has been added later - as stated, most likely solder. so just PMD Collecting since 1972.

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 11:51 am @jos, the only thing that I would add is that a good way to tell if something has been added to a coin is to measure the weight. If it is above mint tolerances than you almost certainly have something extra with that coin.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 12:30 pm It's the rare Zeus-Ike dollar! Or, as others have said, it's just a lump of solder stuck to the coin. Hey!
