coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/12/2022 10:58 am Could be rust, or colored ink? If it rubbed off, then it could be temporary. Doesn't appear as incuse on the coin? Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36832 Posts	Posted 09/12/2022 12:01 pm It's copper. Seems like the nickel layer is thin on the reverse side. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/12/2022 12:05 pm If it were copper, then the cladding would be missing: But I'm not seeing the outline of where the clad was removed on this coin? A closer view might show more? Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/12/2022 1:19 pm Interesting. Possibly an alloy mixing issue? The outer clad layer is 75% copper and 25% nickel, so if poorly mixed, that could explain these copper streaks. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36832 Posts	Posted 09/12/2022 1:35 pm Looking at it under a 50x glass the copper color looks below the surface. I am unable to get photos that small. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 09/12/2022 4:41 pm Does kind look like a bad mix. I don't know if that's possible with a copper nickel layer. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97162 Posts	Posted 09/12/2022 9:30 pm sure looks like a bad cladding issue. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
