I got this one in a bag of uncirc business strike Wisconsin-What say you? Sell it? spend it? or cert it?? Thanks
yep sorry, copper showing through, as if a drip of greese prevented the coating from being applied---uncirculated right from the bag to a 2x2 holder...
I'm no error expert, but I don't think that it would be worth the expense to have it graded. Definitely a keeper though.
I may be mistaken, but wasn't copper nickel clad strips made by joining pre made copper-nickel layers and a pure copper layer in the middle? Rather than any type of electroplating where greas would interfer? It appears to me as just a spot of corrosion. Welcome to the forum!! Jim
Thanks for the info very helpful. You know, as a beginer I'm wanting to sell sell and sell. What a better way then to get the good scoop then with you guys. I mean you can only read so much(enter in the long term vs. short term memory thing here)...the main reason I joined info and with good people-thanks!!!
Now with your closer photo, it looks like an edge was formed and peeled back. Maybe it was caused by a grain of something in between layers so the layer was raised up thinner and split, but the pressure they use to join the layers would tend to prevent that. It also could be sugeested post mint damage was done to dig it away. Got me, but I think it would be hard to claim as error. IMO.
It's just hard to determine the cause of the spot from images. It is possible that there was a spot of the clad layer missing prior to being struck. The way to tell if this is the case is to look at it with a high power glass and see if there is a fine line surrounding what appears to be the copper spot. But as Jim stated, this could not have been caused during the minting process, it would have had to be a planchet flaw prior to striking.
