<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 5142583, member: 84179&quot;]When you search for errors, you should never say&quot;I can&#039;t explain what caused this damage, therefore it must be an error&quot;.&nbsp; You need to explain how it could occur during the minting process.&nbsp; There are an almost infinite number of ways a coin can be damaged after it leaves the mint, but the minting process is well documented and understood.</p><p><br /></p><p>Who knows exactly what&#039;s on your coin? Adhesive? Tar? Chemical corrosion?&nbsp; It really doesn&#039;t matter. Many of the members responding to your question have decades of collecting experience and have demonstrated their knowledge of the minting process on coin talk posts.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line is your coin did not leave the mint like that because there is no part of the process that would produce a coin that looks like that.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some links that explain the minting process.&nbsp; It takes time, but if you&#039;re interested in coins, learning the minting process is very helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.doubleddie.com/58201.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.doubleddie.com/58201.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.doubleddie.com/58201.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://coinweek.com/dealers-companies/littleton/modern-coins-made/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinweek.com/dealers-companies/littleton/modern-coins-made/" rel="nofollow">https://coinweek.com/dealers-companies/littleton/modern-coins-made/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.usmint.gov/news/inside-the-mint/how-coins-are-made-coin-production-terminology" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.usmint.gov/news/inside-the-mint/how-coins-are-made-coin-production-terminology" rel="nofollow">https://www.usmint.gov/news/inside-the-mint/how-coins-are-made-coin-production-terminology</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
