Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 07/06/2023 11:10 pm The small crescent appears to be struck up well, but the rest of the coin looks weak, a non centered die cap?

Arnold Pettibone New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 07/06/2023 11:18 pm Here is the reverse. Looks well struck and no noticable errors. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 07/06/2023 11:21 pm thanks for the quick reply and reverse image. For now, I'll stick with a partial or off centered die cap.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 07/06/2023 11:22 pm But what ever you do with this coin, try to not touch the surfaces with your finger and get prints and oils all over it - it will ruin any inherent value it may hold (if any) Collecting since 1972.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 07/06/2023 11:31 pm Most likely struck through a detached clad layer. However, I can't rule out a strike through a late-stage partial (off-center) die cap. Error coin writer and researcher. Edited by mikediamond 07/06/2023 11:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Khromtau Pillar of the Community United States 676 Posts	Posted 07/07/2023 09:56 am No, it is not glue, it is struck through something. See the luster on the affected area? Also see how it looks sunken in? Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/07/2023 12:00 pm Very cool. @MikeDiamond can you explain why you feel it's more likely to be struck through a detached clad layer rather than an off-center die cap? An amazing find regardless! Report this Post to the Staff
Arnold Pettibone New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 07/07/2023 12:35 pm Would it be in my best interest to get it slabbed through PCGS? Or would the investment outweigh the value? Report this Post to the Staff
