coinhusker26 Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 07/22/2023 5:13 pm Not sure if error technically but looks likes a black tie die, almost snake like line through the coin, but no damage to lettering and looks naturally flowing through the lettering as if it were pre printing. Just curious what this is or just PMD? Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 07/22/2023 9:24 pm The dark spot is interesting, but the (large) date and mint mark, draws my attention more. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 07/23/2023 06:05 am Report this Post to the Staff

EricH Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 07/23/2023 11:38 am I see what you're seeing, it doesn't appear to be an average stain it looks like it has raised edges or is an imprint you can see light reflecting off the edge. I don't know what it is but just want to let the poster know I see that it could look like the metals didn't properly mix like a can of paint that wasn't shaken enough. Lol I know it can be frustrating when nobody seems to see. That being said I have no clue. Report this Post to the Staff
