2017D - Plating issue?

Finally pulled an interesting one out of quite a few 2017D rolls. Not quite sure what the issue would be categorized as.



My uneducated guess would be a laminate/plating issue (are those interchangeable?) on the obverse.

Any sort of premium?

Thanks

Looks like a stain..
No premium for that

 

Stain? What the heck would cause that? These are all new coins

Well poo... was quite happy to find something out of the norm for once. Oh well. Thanks!

EDIT: Maybe I should let it take a bath in some acetone and see what happens. Thoughts?

 

Regular cent. Occasionally, the copper coating stains/corrodes, so it's very hard to find a completely uncirculated post 1982 cent.

 

I just thought since these rolls were nothing but 2017D they would only have some minor nicks from the bag and roller. I prefer the circulated rolls -- so many more characteristics; these are just so monotonous and I still have 49 rolls of 2018D

Fingers crossed

 

I've been after the 2017 P coins last year. Never did find too many though. Here in the Bay Area it's mostly Denver minted coinage circulating.

 

Yea. I'm up in Folsom so I imagine it'll be a needle in a haystack to finder any newer Phillies.

 

If you'd like to experiment, please do. At the very least you're going to learn something from it, and at the very most it's only going to cost you literal change. It's a win-win.

 

Guess the copper just decided to start corroding already. Had it soak for about 5 hours and it looks exactly the same and feels rough lightly using a toothpick.

I'll keep it and using it for reference in the future.

 

Acetone or other solvents won't remove stains. Mints are manufacturing facilities, so there is a lot of oil, grease, water, and who knows what else around. If a bag (the coins come in 1,000 lb bags now) gets set down on the floor, some of the fluids could come into contact with the coins. They don't get put into rolls until they get somewhere like Loomis or Brinks, where other things can come into contact with them.
I use new cents as planchets for tokens I strike, and you would be amazed at how much stuff I have to get off of the new coins right out of a shotgun roll.

 

What kind of tokens do you strike?

 

Great! Others can share their knowledge/experience with you and certainly can be helpful, but many learn best from doing things on their own and is why experimenting can be so important. You clearly learned something new and are the better for it. Kudos.

 

philly here. yo . same with 18 and 17 p 's. saving clean har to find. been a pressman for 45 years . solvents could fall into my knowledge
