OriginalAtog Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 08/11/2021 04:21 am Can you post a full front and back picture of the coin? It could be any number of things, but based on the pictures it is probably PMD. A full picture would be helpful. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/11/2021 08:35 am That is a carbon spot on the planchet. These are an impurity in the metal that react with the copper. They are not a keeper. It is a coin issue. Report this Post to the Staff

ZachMartin Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 08/11/2021 10:05 am Okay thank you Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/11/2021 10:07 am Do you see the center location that is darker on that spot? That is like a cold volcano spewing the carbon over the copper, staining the surface of the coin. Edited by coop 08/11/2021 10:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 08/11/2021 2:06 pm I agree, a carbon spot (which will only continue to enlarge). Report this Post to the Staff
