wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 08/19/2010 02:53 am Could be a clash - but it seems the star is incuse. It could also be that it came in contact with another Sac (like someone place one over it and hit both of them). Report this Post to the Staff
Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 08/19/2010 09:30 am My guess... If the star is incuse, it could be a dropped filling. That is, one of the stars on the die got filled with grease and gunk, then the grease fell out and landed on either the die or the next incoming planchet. When that coin was struck, the star shaped glob of grease pushed into the planchet, forming an incuse star. Very interesting, but probably not a big premium. Dave Report this Post to the Staff
DylansDad Valued Member United States 476 Posts	Posted 08/19/2010 10:01 am Cool...I like it. I think Dave42 has a good evaluation on this one. My initial instinct was contact with another coin and some moisture for awhile...but his sounds better. I can't see it being a clash. Report this Post to the Staff
mlmouton Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 08/19/2010 10:14 am The star is incuse. I picked a total of 5 Sacs and 5 presidentials up from a local bank about 3 years ago and gave them to my 19 year old. He kept them stored and I had forgotten about them until last night. I am not sure who turned them in at the bank, but each one appears to have something wrong with it! Two of the Sacs are dark, one of them looks really different in the way of texture, and there appears to be some doubling on one of them. I can't wait to take a closer look at those as well. I hope I dont become too much of a pain over the next several days and I will hopefully find an error sight for these coins. Report this Post to the Staff
DylansDad Valued Member United States 476 Posts	Posted 08/19/2010 10:39 am This forum is as good as any for finding answers, we have some pretty heavy hitters in the numismatic error world that will eventually come by. Report this Post to the Staff
mlmouton Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 08/19/2010 12:06 pm This coin, for example, if I would want to verify what it is, and if there are other known errors/varieties such as this one, is there someone on this forum that looks at them? Where and who would you recommend I send them to? Report this Post to the Staff

If you wanted to have to coin examined and get written verification, I would recommend sending it to CONECA's error examination service. One of the examiners listed is Mike Diamond, he is a contributor here so he might chime in on this post as well. Edited by biokemist6 08/19/2010 10:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
