Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 12:48 am It was plated or painted and subsequently worn. You've been posting a lot of coins like this. We're happy to help you learn, but if you want to be a better collector, I recommend you read up on the minting process and think critically about whether an "error" could have happened at the mint.
