It's just some coincidental damage, residue, and staining. No errors here. One thing to remember when talking about a US coin struck on a foreign planchet, always try to give a weight. Forgein planchets can be made of brass, aluminum, silver, copper, etc.

 Just a normal coin. What you're seeing is called Pareidolia. Errers and Varietys.

Also-3.04 grams is within mint tolerance, so that is normal too.

I don't know. I do see what almost looks like clash marks. Unfortunately the resolution is just not fine enough for these old eyes. I DO see something of interest.

When you see something on a coin remember, that unless it is raised like other devices, it was not on the die. Why do I say that? A die is a negative. Something on the die that in incuse (devices, bust, designs) create on coins a raised area. Chips, cracks, Cuds, die scratches, die dots, die dents, die gouges although not hubbed in on the die shows as raised areas. Raised areas on the die creates incuse marks on the coins. So when you see something on the fields that is not raised, then it is not on the die. The eye conceives that something is there, but if it isn't raised it's not a die issue. |

Coop, if the U.S. die was struick over a previously struck foreign coin ( Which Is HIGHLY unlikely ) Wouldn't the field of the U.S. Coin flatten the previous foreign devices ?
If a coin was actually struck over a foreign coin, it would have to be deliberate by the operator I would think.

Even double strikes loose a lot of detail. So much you have to make a side buy sides to show what is there.

It is possible the fields in the second strike would flatten the raised devices in those areas, but the raised devices from the first strike would be fairly clear in the raised devices of the second strike. So you would look for flattened devices in the fields and raised devices on the high relief areas of the second strike. This coin shows neither. |

So how is it that I'm seeing these letters and numbers.. I'm not buying the coincidental staining and residue theory..could it be that it was stuck to another coin for a long period of time..and then residue stained it
