If the areas are indented maybe an acid type liquid has eaten away the nickel. Either way it is PMD not a mint error. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfan12971 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/25/2024 08:40 am Thank you for all the help, I've co Included it must be some type of erosion of nickel coating, I can't explain how the facial features were duplicated other than another nickel being present when the acid of whatever material made contact and left the second imprint .

Spence Moderator United States 34406 Posts	Posted 01/25/2024 08:56 am @coin, we sometimes attribute this sort of corrosion to coins sitting in automobile cupholders with some soda in them. I suspect that the "face" you are seeing is actually Pareidolia.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95751 Posts	Posted 01/26/2024 3:37 pm is that area raised or incuse? if raised, then possibly a foreign matter is on the coin, if Incuse, then corrosion may be the culprit here.
