Finn1974 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 06/13/2017 10:48 pm So I found this in a roll set it aside. Looking at it now more closely I think it is a strike through/cladding error? I can't feel any ridges with my fingernail and the color does not come off. Also there is no ridge on the obverse edge, it slopes down. Any input would be appreciated. Thx, Finn Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/13/2017 11:58 pm That must be the rumored digital camo Kennedy! Just kidding. So, if I understand correctly, the obverse is only a color variation? And, there is no discernible tactile difference between the colors? It gives the impression that mesh or screen was involved somehow, I just don't know how specifically. I'll have to ruminate for a bit on this one.

I can try another one through a loop if that would help. Just looks like the cladding didn't take on a part of the coin but I thought that would leave an edge of some kind.

You can give it a soak in acetone and if it's glue it will come off.i had a Wheat penny that had the same pattern on it and the same feel you are talking about but it came off with acetone.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/14/2017 12:21 am This looks like a case of surface discoloration / minor corrosion to me. My theory is that a corrosive environment has been set up with a damp, partly folded woven material sitting on the surface of the coin. Something has dissolved into the dampness of the overlying woven material to cause minor corrosion and noticeable discoloration. Report this Post to the Staff
