I've search everywhere I can and not found another like it. It may be grease errors and maybe double die and not sure what else. In several spots on front and back you can see the copper . I'm sure these are not just damaged marks but could be wrong. I appreciate any and all help! Thanks! & Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/10/2021 07:16 am to the CCF! it does look like acid damage. Do you happen to have a scale? I'd like to know the weight to see just how much metal was removed by the acid. It's not going to change my opinion of the coin, I'm just curious!
