Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 4:35 pm @brandon, first welcome to CCF. Second, to me that looks like an encrustation, perhaps from environmental exposure rather than a mint error.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 4:48 pm There is also some encrustation on the front at about 9 o'clock that has largely been cut off in the pic. This one is a spender for me.

BrandonJV New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 4:58 pm The shiny copper and thickness of the blob is what gets me. Hard to think this is encrustation but you all are the experts! Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
