I believe there are some members on here that are knowledgeable in Chinese numismatics. I would recommend posting in the world coin forum to get...
This is a great link for non-german speakers who use German reference books. A few years ago, I got a copy of Die Deutschen Notmunzen to...
A die struck coin would not have that mushy, washed out appearance over both sides regardless of composition. Research images of coins struck in...
The 42 looks like it has some sort of residue, not a lamination. Until 1989 all mms were added to the dies by hand, so the 46D isn't special...
Darn! Too bad I already wasted my stimulus check money on mortgage, food, and utilities. :banghead: :facepalm:
Thanks @johnmilton it's always a good day when you learn something new
You should never conclude that a coin is an error because you can't explain how the damage occurred. There are innumerable ways for a coin to...

The key is understanding the minting process. The more you learn the less time you'll be wasting looking at damaged coins. Try this site...
I wonder if this is related to the other "enigmatic" proof errors from early 70's (1970-S quarter struck over a 1941 Canadian Quarter anybody?)
Also note the dent in the reverse opposite the damage. That's another key characteristic that tells you it couldn't have occurred when the coin...
Somewhere in one of your extensive posts (would hate to see the billable hours on those ;)), you said that you believed this purposely done to the...
