radatat Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 01/27/2018 1:06 pm This coin has an overflow of plating, I think, outside of America. In the photos it looks like goo but it is the same color of the rest of the coin under less magnification. I am sure it is part of the minting process rather than post mint action. What is this and how is it caused? Thanks Rich Report this Post to the Staff

radatat Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 01/27/2018 1:22 pm yeah coop I am trying to get a better pic. I just don't think it is post mint. Is that possible? Could anything cause that type of error in the minting process. working on it. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

radatat Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 01/27/2018 2:42 pm yep it scraped off easily. In my studies of minting I could not think of a way it could happen and you all are right. I guess just goo. Yuk Smile R Report this Post to the Staff
