Hard to tell in the pics - but look at the Earth on the REV. If there are islands west of the tip of Florida, its a III. ALso, give this guy a bath in pure acetone ( Wal-mart - inexpensive - but make sure its pure), It will likely get rid of the green yuck and whatever that clear stuff is. |

I think the green is just from the pic. I don't see it On the coin. The clear looking stuff on 1972 and on the right under the Y is either so e kind of error....or someone damaged it during circulation. I think it's an error

 It's flat but goes over the 1,9, and 7. It also goes into the rim |

Hmmm... I thought it was some of that flexible adhesive used to temporarily hold (for example) coins to solicitations for charities. Now I'm thinking a delam planchet, prestrike. What do the rest of y'all think?

I wish I had put this in the error coin section. I did not see it before I posted. Thanks to all who have replied

Incuse - I am not qualified to make a guess as to what caused it. The other blob to the right in the first pic does look like the goop of which you speak though, and is why I thought the date was also covered with it.

That's a blob of glue.
A soak in acetone and a little work with a toothpick will take it right off.

This must be frustrating, TEX. There are two issues, here: wanting to know if this is a type-3 (I think so, but not positive) and what is the source of the damage to the coin. Well, the ding up by Liberty is most likely bag damage ( PMD). The light makes it look like there's goop on the coin, but you're saying that the area around the date is incuse - it is a depression in the coin. It looks as if the date was stamped over this damaged area. Am I on the right track? I don't have a lot of experience with clad coin morphology. From what I've learned by reading threads on the forum and what I've read elsewhere, it may be a case of partial delamination. If you don't get any better responses than this, I might try reposting with the best pictures and a title with "error" or "mint damage ?" in the title. Sorry I can't be of more help! but I gotta go. Later, BC |

Oh no, Not frustrated :) I'm getting honest opinions based on the pics I posted...which I know are less than desirable.
I'm going to try and get some pics with a "real" camera and see if it helps...then maybe I'll post in the error section. I appreciate all who commented.
Biedercoins.....It actually looks like the lines of the "error" go over the 1,7, and 9 and then right into(over) the rim section.
I just dug these coins out....had many of them since I was I kid. I'm sure one of them is going to make me rich :)
