Super Dude New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 3:23 pm DDD? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97436 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 3:43 pm Not seeing any DDD, but the devices on both sides are very soft.. Does this coin still show the original mint luster? I'm thinking a quick bath in mild or watered down acid. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Super Dude New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 3:51 pm @Dearborn Yeah, it still has the original mint luster. Weighs in at 5.5 grams, edge looks fine all the way around. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97436 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 7:25 pm still has luster, so I think that would preclude acid or sandblasting.. Collecting since 1972.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8786 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 7:33 pm From the look of some of the edges of the devices, maybe lightly polished/buffed. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 9:11 pm Guys I let you decide. I put the original and OP photo. Seem was plated or a reproduction. Not really same design. Up to you to decide. Edited by silviosi 05/08/2023 9:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 9:49 pm Seems altered after strike. Maybe fine grain sand blast or rock tumbler. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97436 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 9:57 pm Well it is not plated - I can see the copper core on the edge. The design is the same - just VERY washed out.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97436 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 10:43 pm well it is a little light., so I might have to reverse my thought earlier and go with light acid treatment or sandblasting.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 11:02 pm For me this it is a novelty. No design details, letters thinkers and smaller, and go on. Funy to know this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 11:04 pm My first guess would be Die Deterioration where things generally look bloated, enlarged, blurry, twisted, and damaged. PCGS article written by Ken Potter mentioned similar: the coins exhibit doubling, thickening, twisting and other deformities which are the result of Die Deterioration and found on 1999 coins. https://www.PCGS.com/news/Die-Deter...age-Ipart-3i Not sure about the lightness of color, Its not an experimental planchet since its not sacagawea golden or greenish https://www.error-ref.com/sate_quar...ental_alloy/ and https://mikebyers.com/exp25cset.html Edited by datadragon 05/08/2023 11:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
