It's a great example. https://www.error-ref.com/orange-pe...20roughness. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6449 Posts	Posted 08/11/2023 10:08 pm It almost has the appearance of being stuck through a late stage die cap, but I don't think that happens anymore. Just from the blurred nature of the devices, I almost wonder if it was plated with something. I guess Die Deterioration could explain it? Better pictures with less glare might help.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6449 Posts	Posted 08/12/2023 4:34 pm Guys, I'm just finding it hard to believe that in 2023, the Mint let a die get that bad without catching it. To me, this nickel looks acid damaged, plated, something that is PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
