Numis5 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 10:10 am Can't figure this one out. Burnished gold swath on Kennedy's head. No wear and clearly not an addition (e.g., paint or other additive). Completely in line with surrounding profile. Chemically induced or a minting error of some kind? Many thanks.

If paint it should come off within a few hours, if not minutes. If "Goldtone ", what watches are coated with, it will take 24 hours maybe. But yes, it is considered damaged.
