<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 6233384, member: 84179&quot;]The anomalies on your coin are not EXACTLY the same as the other coin.&nbsp; If you understand the minting process, certain types of of errors/varieties such as filled dies, die cracks, doubled dies, etc, will have the EXACT appearance, because the coins were struck from the same die.&nbsp; This is one way to confirm the the coin left the mint in that condition</p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin has different coloring, as I mentioned, so it cannot be due to the striking or the planchet process.&nbsp; Your coin is environmentally damaged.&nbsp; The outer clad layers are 75%copper and 25%nickel.&nbsp; As evidenced by numerous metal detecting finds, clad Coins that have spent time in the ground will stain to a brown color similar to yours due to the copper content in the alloy</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry I couldn&#039;t help you and won&#039;t waste your time in the future.&nbsp; Best of luck on your collecting goals[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
