Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10529 Posts	Posted 07/03/2025 5:19 pm Appearance of slag in coins: "Slag inclusions in coins are a type of alloy error. They can manifest as visible dark or light streaks on the coin's surface or border. In extreme cases, a larger piece of slag might become embedded and rise to the surface of the coin, potentially even falling out after striking and leaving a hole." Report this Post to the Staff
