Achilles Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 10:22 am Good morning, This '74 appears to be copper plated on top of some kind of white alloy under the scratched areas. It is: - Non magnetic - Weighs 3.06 grams Explanations on this one? Any way of looking up if the mint was striking any foreign coinage with similar attributes? I did my best with the pictures but there are smaller scratches on the front and back where glints of white metal can be seen as well - Lincoln's head/face, '74', 'BE' in liberty, and 'I' in 'In God We Trust', etc. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74718 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 10:25 am Lincoln's bust is showing Post Strike Damage ( PSD). The weight is also still within U.S. Mint tolerances. There's no premium for your coin. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Achilles Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 10:28 am Yes, but the PSD seems to be revealing a metal other then copper. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 2:05 pm That is why were are calling it post strike damage as it happened after the stike. Coin meet up with a lot of metal contact after the strike. It is in the location were it could have happened during the wrapping of the roll. (which is not done at the mint) Report this Post to the Staff
