This coin was not cladded or plated in the first place. Perhaps a piece of tape once adhered to the surface?  to the CCF! |

@Embot2019, first welcome to CCF. Second, as the frog said, '76 cents were made from copper (not clad).

Just sticky residue gunk on your coin. PSD, not an error coin. Errers and Varietys.

Hey, thanks everyone for getting back to me!
So if someone puts a piece of tape on a coin and leaves it there, this is what will happen? It's so bizarre because it looks like a different metal and not sticky but obviously the sticky would go away :)

This coin is a good example for collectors of what not to do. Definitely tape residue affected the toning on the coin. Sometimes people use to put tape on the coins in an album to keep them from falling out.
Experiment with a piece of tape on a modern and you can see how this occurs.

Do we think it's weird that I tossed it on a coin scale and that it weighs in at 2.963 grams? I know it can be +/- 0.13 but I was just curious.

FYI heads up, sorry to say it wasn't tape. There's a little coin shop in my town that's been around forever. I brought it in just to confirm it was tape. Not tape! The gentleman said it was a classic example of a struck through plastic error. Interesting. Please click below websites for other examples. And yes, it is normal that some of the raised letters and humbers are the way they are. Just thought I'd let you know. :) https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/199...a/304-8351.s |
