Quin36 Valued Member United States 208 Posts	Posted 04/28/2019 1:44 pm I don't understand the finish or color of this coin. Help? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21653 Posts	Posted 04/28/2019 1:51 pm Looks like it has been coated (varnish?) with something. In any case, it was done after the coin left the mint so it is just damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75049 Posts	Posted 04/28/2019 2:02 pm That's called die flow lines. It happens when the die starts to age and slowly breaks down everytime it strikes planchets at the U.S. Mint. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21653 Posts	Posted 04/28/2019 5:53 pm I figured the OP was referring to the shinny finish on the Obverse, that why I gave the answer that I did. Maybe Quin36 can verify what he was referring to. Report this Post to the Staff
Quin36 Valued Member United States 208 Posts	Posted 04/28/2019 8:34 pm @coinfrog, quin36 (she), or I, was referring to the finish/color/extreme shine on the reverse and semi shine/ring on the outer rim of the obverse. It is like a super bronze mirror on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
