This is glue or some type of adhesive, you can tell as it is clear and over top of the letters on the obverse.

Could glue or adhesive strip away part of the plating in the coin? Is that what you mean?

I'm pushing more to something acidic like pop was left sitting on the coin and ate away the clad layer on this part of the coin. There is a slightly weird colour to where the missing metal is, but it's not missing all the clad right to the core. Idk much about missing parts of clad layer but I know there are errors that fall into that category.
If it's glue or adhesive I don't think it would have eaten into the clad layer like this. Though I don't know how acidic glue is. If you thought that the marking was on top of the coin it's not it's eaten into the coin, I'll get some more pics.

I really don't think that this can be called any kind of error. It's just a poor plating decision by the RCM for their coins to churn things out at the least cost. The manufacture of their modern coinage is no different than the manufacture of nails, Q-tips, washers or anything else that is pumped out by the millions for every day use. If 2 nails or Q-tips don't look exactly like another one, do you call it an "error"? |

Wrekkdd, I have no reason to mislead you, I see these all the time being posted on Facebook groups.
If it were not glue and really was a lamenation or strike through it would show atleast a small amount of copper deposits scattered and being able to clearly see right through it and be able to tell that the letters were fully struck assures me that what you are seeing is glue added to its surface after it left the mint.
All else fails and you dont want to take my word for it, take it home and soak it in acetone, once you soak it you will be left with a normal 2019 with no signs of the substance anymore.

No but missing clad layer is an error, as long is it hasn't been stripped by acid or something. There is a fair amount of plating missing, I'd say about 30% of the outer clad layer is gone from this side of the coin, if this is not damage then I'd say it's an error. It's one thing for coins to look a little different but missing plating is an error as far as I know.

The entire area you see that is effected is a missing layer of metal on the coin, iv never seen anything like this and would not call it normal of it's not damaged  |

Missing clad layers on US coins mighy demand premiums, but for modern Canadian coins, rarely. Our coinage does not get the amount of attention that US coinage does. As for this coin though, its got no chance of being either, you can see the dried bubbles that were trapped in the adhesive before drying above the queen.

Then why is it indented? This in not on top of the coin, it's easy to see from the pics. Unless the tape it self stripped away some of the coin.

A Qtip of finger nail polish removal will answer this one

I don't think it is indented at all when the adhesive is on the surface of a coin it looks as if its indented, but look at the everything around it, the letters "ELIZ" in "ELIZABETH" are underneath the substance, fully struck.
No process at the mint can do that.
Look at the beads, fully struck, underneath the adhesive, again... No process at the mint can do that.
Once again, if you don't believe me do an acetone soak, it won't harm the coin at all, but it will remove the substance and leave you with a new-looking 2019.

I'll have to remember this in case I come across it again, my apologies. Well no error find today but I did find a specimen 2002 dime in circulation so not a complete miss today:p

it does not look like the damage/error goes through the queen at all, just on the high points. Never seen this before and not finding much online
