fluidvp New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 08:54 am I understand that at first glance, it appears to be a satin, but then upon further examination the silver and dark ring is in contrast to each other. If you look closely, there are areas of the stain that should be straight in regards to the silver ring, and would have been symmetrical to the silver ring if it had not been stamped over the dark ring area. My thinking is that the planchet had the error before mint striking. Report this Post to the Staff

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 11:21 am Looks like a stain to me. I don't know what you mean that certain portions of the stain "should be straight". A stain can be any shape at all, depending on what and how it was caused. Dave Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 1:23 pm Definitely not an error of any type, just a stain. The CuNi cladding is still quite visible under the stain while missing clad errors look quite different with visible copper from the core- Report this Post to the Staff
