rkennedy1945 Valued Member United States 130 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 4:47 pm This is an interesting error on the 1999 P State Quarter. The error is above the men on the ship and to the right of the men standing. It is a quite large Cud like with a goldish color center. It weighs the proper State Quarter of 5.67. Any ideas on this one? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 4:54 pm @rke, well by definition, a Cud must novo be the rim so it definitely isn't that. Can you please confirm whether this region is above or below the surrounding field? Thx.

rkennedy1945 Valued Member United States 130 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 5:14 pm It 8s definitely above. Why the gold color? Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19150 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 5:36 pm Color? Could be the result of the coin's surface (in that local area) reacting to an environmental agent, changing the color of the coin's surface--toning it. I don't see it often, but have come across similar instances on clad coins over the decades. Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 8:25 pm I think there is something on the coin in that spot, could be a tiny drop of 1/10000 things. An acetone soak would most likely clear this theory up quickly. I think it's too smooth to be a die chip and the colour is off on the droplet.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 8:49 pm I agree with John1, Dearborn and Wrekkdd, too smooth for a die chip (though there is an outside possibility it could be), looks as if something is ON the coin's surface. I too would guess an acetone bath could solve this mystery but in the end does it really matter? If it's glue or somesuch it would dissolve it, if it's still there it's probably a die chip, neither add value. Big chips might bring a premium but not small ones. Just my opinion. Spend it and move on. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21604 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 1:31 pm If it is part of the coin, then it is a Die Chip but doesn't really matter as either way there is no premium for it. Keep it as an example or spend it. Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 12/27/2021 11:29 am That's what I thought, too. There appears to be damage on the obv. Maybe one of those damaged spots is punched through to the reverse? Report this Post to the Staff
