I suggest you study up on actual errors on error-ref.com. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 07/07/2023 2:26 pm Unable to fully evaluate since your photos are distorted by overmagnification beyond the 800x800 pixels the board recommends. Please use a size of 800x800 or so because that tends to make a sharper image, and works with more equipment which allows more members to participate. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/07/2023 2:32 pm I don't mean this to be rude, but why do people always write "multiple mint errors" like they already know it's a mint error (in fact, many!) before posting? Why not ask "Is this a mint error?" Anyway, as has already been said, this is not an error, just environmental damage, possibly from being buried underground. Report this Post to the Staff
EricH Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 07/07/2023 3:04 pm Looks like it sat in liquid for a long time or maybe fire damage or a metal detecting find. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/07/2023 7:46 pm to the CCF and with eric. It's seen some fire at sometime in it's life. Sam, I think people see something different and the first thing they think of is it has to be an error. With all the get rich sites telling them that that next "error" coin they find will be worth a million dollars. They don't know you have to search thousands of coins to find a coin that's worth $10.00. Report this Post to the Staff
