 Looks like the coin was heated and the balls of metal might be zinc or solder.Not an error, PMD. John1

I'm not even sure if cents are burnished, but they certainly aren't after minting. Agree, looks like solder.

To me, it looks like someone turned a blowtorch on a zincoln. The zinc melted, burst through the copper skin, and resolidified in little droplets of formerly molten zinc.

This coin was under very pointed fire and melt. Some goldsmith play?

Noting in the minting process could make this. Its PMD like has been said. |

Did you all know there is a burnishing ball error on a dollar planchet though? I'd never heard of it.   Cool stuff. |
