Message:: [QUOTE="Fallguy, post: 3435444, member: 84739"]Agree that it was treated with something, though not sure the whole coin was dipped as the Obv doesn't seem to have the same discolorations as the Rev. It almost seems that a specific area was treated, which brings me to the issue of the fact that if a coin was treated does not exclude it from being a "error" (a Bad No, No for sure) if a true error, such as a die crack, exists. What I'm trying to say is that it appears that the area being treated may very well be a die crack or split of some type that they were trying to uncover. It's always hard to tell from a two dimensional photo as to what the topography of the area in question is; it does appear to be that there may have been some displacement in the area between the two "N"s of "ONE" and "CENT". Maybe the OP can give us a verbal description of what he is seeing in the affected area. BTW, nice pick on the die chip LaCointessa. Semper Fidelis[/QUOTE]
