Groszy Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 4:44 pm That's PMD. Whether it's "environmental" damage, I don't know. If it's an organic again from something, it might come off with acetone. And, that's Roosevelt on the obverse, not Eisenhower. Report this Post to the Staff
Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 6:50 pm Oh my I did say Eisenhower! Geeez! Thanks for the correction - what I was thinking. I'm going to post a few more pics just for grins if you don't mind and use different lighting. It looks like copper and I don't want to miss a good error if it is. Still learning and so much to learn. I had no idea. Report this Post to the Staff

Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 02/17/2020 4:20 pm I had to walk away from this one for a bit - was looking at it too long. The coin weighs 2.32g. Looking at it again I see a Roman/Greek face image and an owl back to back with 'Roosevelt' - see new pic, along with Foreign letters that appear to be struck thru. Please let me hear your thoughts.

Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 02/17/2020 5:12 pm @te007, thanks for updating with the weight and more pics. I agree with @john1 that it looks like surface staining. I have seen other coins with a broad discolored band (on this coin going roughly from 10 to 4 o'clock). In those cases, the coin had been taped onto something and the areas where the tape was stuck were protected from toning. That is my best guess as to what you have here.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21620 Posts	Posted 02/17/2020 6:09 pm Whatever caused it, it wasn't done during the striking of the coin so it just PMD, not an error. Report this Post to the Staff
Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 02/18/2020 3:18 pm I appreciate everyone's input. I guess I've beaten a dead horse here. I've learned that coins can play tricks on your eyes with different lighting and different angles. Reminds me of playing where's Waldo. Hopefully someone else learned something with me. On to my next coin :) Report this Post to the Staff
