It is easy to just write this off as PMD like acid or weather but planchet errors like this happen all the time. The rippling you can see in the field on the reverse could happen with a grease strike through. I am not saying it is I am just saying it could be. IMO it is PMD but I would say this happened from weathering. |

It looks sandblasted! or it could be legitimate rippling, I have never seen a silver ripple, just the 80s cents! or weathering, but if it was weathering then it would be more common and recognizable.

Ok John.
YOU made a very definite statement.
Please, prove it, based on the information YOU have.
give us your reasons! Whatever they are.
it is easy to make that statement, but you must have your reasons!
Without any supporting evidence, you could have just as well said the opposite!
right?
so, we are waiting ?

If its green + corroded = ACID or PMD or SOMETHING that is not usual. |

I have read that you can get this kind of rippling on silver with a powered wire brush. I haven't ever tried it yet though.

I wonder if there is a factory turning common dates into "errors"?

Ok, you are right my statement is conjecture, based off of pictures. I have not held the coin in hand and know no more about the coin than what it looks like. Experience makes me disquisitive, I have to assume with coins showing these kind of details that a coin doctor is at work. The coin shows the same pattern of "damage" on both the obv. and rev. this instantly makes me suspicious but my gut feelings are not a science. The truth is that it is more likely IMO PMD and it is not up to me to prove other wise, The seller has to prove that it is indeed a mint error and they obviously haven't even tried to do that. Never buy an error coin that isn't recognized by the collecting community if it hasn't been inspected by an authority. |

The only thing I can think off that could maybe cause this is a strike through grease, and in such a case I would expect weak strike in the details at least somewhere on the coin. As you can see from the pictures that just isn't there the coin shows full details, so where is the extra mass of the grease pushed to during the strike? My point is, you can't just find a damaged coin and assume it is mint error. This seller is exploiting the inexperienced collector, if I were selling an error coin I make every effort to identify and explain what happened during minting to create the oddity. This guy just says it is an error and that you should buy it cause he says it is and at $55, I sell recognized errors for cheaper.
