Classic example of a chain strike. Colorful coin, but do to fingerprints and finger oils not normal toning.

Nice one, me I think how you can preserve this ? Personally I will vacuum, like this not more others agents can activate oxidations. Sorry I will have the vacuum slabbing machine at the end of April.

Usually the Chain strikes look more like a saddle:

I'm not the expert on errors, but to me it looks more like an off center straight clip?

Thanks for the great comments!

Coop, the pics you added are not a chain strike. The one I posted is almost the most classic-looking chain strike you could possibly see.
