The issue is only on the obverse--addition of a thin layer encompassing the eye, cheek and most of the nose and upper lip. There's also a triangular-shaped "fleck" between the two stars off the point of the nose. Might be hard to tell from the images, but the "layer" is raised or elevated with mostly sharp edges. Was hoping someone might explain what this error is and the impact on the value of the coin. Thanks in advance for the feedback and pointers! Dave Report this Post to the Staff

smithersscope New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 01/10/2021 1:45 pm Thanks for the warm welcome, Coinfrog! I also thought it might be tape or glue, but was afraid to try to mess with/remove it. You were right--it's tape. Welp. How embarrassing is that for a first post? Ha! Report this Post to the Staff
