If you have a coin dealer in your town take it to him and have him take a look at it... Here is a website of a "Big Time" error dealer.... Let us know what the weight is.

This is sometimes accompanied by closely spaced parallel lines, streaks, or striations. The cause of both the color and the lines is unknown.   09-10-2005, 07:49 PM   #4 (permalink) lawdogct Coin Collector     Join Date: Sep 2004 Posts: 1,072 I've pulled coins like this from beaches when metal detecting. Did you find this in circulation, or in an unopened roll?   09-10-2005, 09:03 PM   #5 (permalink) vision Senior Member     Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 141 circulation edit: if it was from an unopened roll it would be no doubt an error right   09-12-2005, 03:31 PM   #6 (permalink) lawdogct Coin Collector     Join Date: Sep 2004 Posts: 1,072 Quote: Originally Posted by vision circulation edit: if it was from an unopened roll it would be no doubt an error right welll.......more likely anyway   09-12-2005, 04:11 PM   #7 (permalink) mikediamond Coin Collector   Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Illinois Posts: 1,203 You can find damaged coins in rolls and in mint-sewn bags. Post-strike mint damage is a common and well-known phenomenon. Bent, crushed, gouged, and scraped coins do come out of mint-sewn bags. Post-strike discoloration is equally likely.   09-12-2005, 07:24 PM   #8 (permalink) jmpearso Member   Join Date: Oct 2004 Posts: 91 Looks like the ones I pull from Sandboxes at the playgrounds and I use em for change.
