IWow! Very interesting! You should be featured in a Coin World article for finding this. I'll PM Mike Diamond to see what he thinks.  Errers and Varietys.

Newbie38, I did send an email to Mike Diamond about this coin you have and sent him the link to your thread. We'll see what he has to say about it.

You're welcome. Stay tuned for more replys later in the morning. Also, one more thing is I hope everyone enjoys the Superbowl against the Patriots and the Eagles (If you watch football).  Errers and Varietys.

This is new to me! I don't see how it is PMD since the affected area seems to be raised on the coin and there is no break of the copper plating. Being raised means there must have been an absence in the die. I really don't see any abnormal weakness on the obverse strike. Maybe it is as Crazyb0 suggested, struck with a newly broken die due to an alloy issue.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

This is not an error. Some foreign substance is covering the reverse face. This naturally should have increased the coin's weight. The fact that it didn't suggests that either (1) the coin was naturally underweight to begin with, or (2) the area beneath the crud was abraded before the substance was applied.

That is strange. I imaged that something added to the coin as it filled the rim height. But not being over weight was that concern. I wonder what it look like before?

Newbee, its a keeper nonetheless as an oddity. You can try giving it a soak in acetone for at least 24 hours, won't hurt. If that's smashed hardened glue, it should come off. Being the correct weight tho is the ? factor. It should register a bit higher at 2.6 at least. Try that, let us know.  |

I was going to ask about soaking it and for how long?
