It isn't PMD I don't think seems like a fair amount of extra metal on the A but idk what it is called. from the picture it almost looks like there is doubling on the coin but I'm pretty sure it's just the lighting and angle mayb. What do you all think Report this Post to the Staff

It didn't happen at the mint. It looks like something foreign was dropped on it and it stuck, since it is affecting both the design and the field. You have the coin in hand ... what does it look like? I know that you are trying your darndest to finally find an error, but it's hard to tell from your photos. You need to study what a mint error actually is and then give us an idea. If I had to guess, it's a drop of glue. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm using a microscope phone app so I need a reaaalllyyy steady hand to get a good picture. Mayb after I have a toke lol. But ya just imagine that's it's the same colour, what is it?
