Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75165 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 9:11 pm To me, it looks like a stain or someone burned it with fire a little bit. Just a good guess. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

JOrito New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 08/03/2017 1:17 pm When they press the coins do they use heat? I looked up acid damage and PMD, this was done with the same tool they use to press them, I tried circling parts of the face that is in the shadow that match the face of the coin. If it is done by heat I can guess the tool they use to make the coins hovered over the coin longer I. A different spot? Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 08/03/2017 9:19 pm Thanks for posting better pics. Sometimes stains and circulation damage can look like an error. No harm in asking us. We like to look at coins. Keep hunting. You're bound to find something good someday. Report this Post to the Staff
