Immediately thought spray paint. A dip in acetone would lift the paint and if it were zinc, not harm it.
His contributions are missed. It would be great to have him back. Hope to see him soon.
A Denver too! Fun find!
Fun when a proof shows up in your change. My first proof from my change was a state quarter. Fun finds!

For what it's worth, I am still undecided about what's completely happening for a Class 9. I suspect that my experience around tool and die guys...
I agree that most of the more obvious doubling occurs at central points for Class 9 doubling, but it's not exclusive. For example, the RTY or the...
I think the coppercoins listing has the correct classification. Class 9.
Looks like circulation damage. Not an RPM. Good luck on the hunt!
Your 1964 is in decent shape for a circulation find. But, keep in mind that a billion of them were made between 1964-1967 and many uncirculated...
Unless a coin has a high numismatic value attached, counterfeiting a common date would be pointless and costly. Welcome to CT!!
