Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 03/29/2021 2:00 pm I have seen other posts of similar problems and 1 is currently posted from today (Monday 3-29). I researched plating issues/values for a client this past winter and only found 1 source that valued such mint errors by approximate percentage unplated/misplated. Values ranged from $10 - $ 100 each (10% to c.100% error). I wish I could remember the party off the top of my head, but that's only reference I saw for someone credible, I presume, trying to track these reported occurrences. For what it's worth.... Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff

Couple areas are like next to pedestal not silver color but like it's been (struck through?) Some areas in middle of silver it's copper peace's. Report this Post to the Staff
