I thought I saw the same, but the same tones are on the coin, could be the lighting.
The lines don't fully remove. They show lightly, as the coin tones over again they show back heavy. It happens as the ingot is rolled to planchet...
Cool split die on the 1838P.
I would try the tissue test. It also could be plated, but the tones even look silver.

Thanks, I originally thought it might be a snuff type coin. "Two pieces" thats why I weighed it. But it's too heavy to be hollow in the middle....
Have you weighed it?
I have been going thru some old coins and had never noticed it before. And wouldn't have if I didn't find another 52. It seems the reverse looks a...

Link? I want to see some 5 dollar gold.
You do any fishing? I tie up the heaviest rock I can find, If I need one.
So, how many buckets of these coins do you have @numist Maybe some art? They are doing floors now with us cents. Glue and cover the floor in epoxy.
It was made by this guy. [ATTACH]
Definitely looks like an old dip that didn't fully remove the heavy toning. Nice coin Miguy.
