<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BR549, post: 989477, member: 7110&quot;]The composition of the Booker T. is supposed to be an amalgam of .90% silver and .10% copper. The planchet material was compounded and refined at the Mint, but many times over the history of making coins, a incomplete mixture was rolled out as coin stock. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a possibility that there may be a streak of copper showing at this area and would take on a different tone than the silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, there could have been a fragment (off the roller, off the conveyor, etc.) of copper or copper mixture pressed onto the rolled out blank material and was summarily struck into the surface of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are just a couple of reasoning’s for what your seeing on this coin, it is incorporated into the strike and should not effect the grade. As far as eye appeal, it may distract for some, add interest for others. </p><p><br /></p><p>Happy Collecting[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
