Derfsup Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 05/10/2021 9:17 pm I'm a noob and I'm just trying to learn about the differnt kinds of error coins and how to know if it's an error coin or not an error and could it be Worth something. If it's not an error coin then why? Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/10/2021 9:25 pm I agree, looks like strong acid damage. It did not leave the mint looking this way. No premium, sorry. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12441 Posts	Posted 05/11/2021 12:36 am It looks like something brushed onto the surface of the coin. Maybe an acetone bath would help reveal what's going on.

Kcm Valued Member United States 273 Posts	Posted 05/11/2021 2:50 pm I ponder; plating a metal's surface with an alien metal sometimes requires a great deal of thought, skill, chemistry, machinery, and experience. Sometimes, I ponder, it's no simple operation. I ponder that -- maybe sometimes -- it doesn't get done right and in the realm of time, sometimes one of the two metals files for divorce.
