Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75082 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 9:12 pm Looks like a really bad carbon spot on the "A" of "AMERICA" unfortunately. That's stinks really bad, since it's on a DDR. I would just leave it the way it is, because you would probably end up ruining your Proof coin trying to get rid of that carbon spot. Edit: So Mark, it's a sneeze droplet mark from a Mint Employee? Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 07/27/2018 9:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
