Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 06/02/2021 8:47 pm @gret, it is always best to accompany your pics with a written description of what you are seeing as a mint error with the coin in hand. Do you mean the area of discoloration on the reverse or something else?

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/02/2021 8:49 pm We need to see close ups, please. Don't hold your coins, lay them flat and photograph them from above. What are your specific questions/concerns about this half? We are terrible guessers. Edited by merclover 06/02/2021 8:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Gretchen531 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 06/02/2021 8:53 pm I can post more pics tomorrow. I was told it was a strike though and I should get it graded. I am not a collector so I don't know the details. Report this Post to the Staff
halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1501 Posts	Posted 06/02/2021 8:59 pm Hard to tell from the pix, but I'm seeing gunk — for lack of a better word — on the reverse. A soak in pure acetone would tell you whether it's gunk or part of the coin's design. From your standpoint, you can tell what's going on better than we can.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/03/2021 05:18 am Who told you it was a strike through and should be graded? Looks like something "on" the coin like gunk that left a stain. Try a soak in 100% pure acetone,not standard nail polish remover. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
