2000 D South Carolina error? Or not, and if it is what is it?

Does anyone recognize this as a legitemant error?

Legitimate... Not to me... looks like soldering

 

Yeah it does by the color but it's super flat like it was pressed into it and it's the same level as the coin there's no sanding marks and it's plum with the face of the coin. Thanks for your input.

 

Looks like tinfoil to me?

Thanks,
Jacob

 

Here's angle shot in case some o e else has any ideas

 

Well usually I'm proved wrong but this time it don't sound like anyone has any ideas that could m8ke me think otherwise? I know it's hard to judge a coin with just crappy pics but I see this won't be much help I think I'll send this in just to see what they say thank you all

 

If it occurred during the strike it would be called an interior die break,
The area in question should have the same tone as the rest of the coin. This is not an error just unfortunate damage, keep searching, their are plenty of real errors out there.
IE- I use what ever I can to hold or shim plumbing parts before soldering them together.

 

Mental note to myself... Don't ever respond again to this persons threads because he knows better

 

Try to carefully dislodge it with a tooth pick or dental pick. I found a cent the other night that was very similar and thought it might be a dropped element. (Happening during the strike) The tooth pick dislodged it quickly and so it was just foreign matter after the strike. PMD.

 

It's a curse, I tell ya', a curse. And as soon as I find the witch that's casting these, well, ... LOOK OUT!

What is WRONG with these people?

 

Thank you. I'm not saying it's not a post mint error but this is what I needed to research better.

 

Alright thank you I'll try that. Judging by your answer, if it is actually from the mint it wont be possible to seperate easily or if any at all due to the type of bonding from the mint process?

 

Like @paddyman98 said. It's solder

 

Not necessarily because if it is solder it could be bonded quite well to the surface and the solder option mentioned is a distinct possibility. The silvery color of this makes for a good supposition of solder as nickel is not this color and obviously neither is copper. The tooth pick idea is just a way of process of elimination.

 

If it were a piece of 'aluminum'
or something similar, that was
on the coin when struck, it
would be flatter, and you would
see a little bit of the design of
the coin on top of the aluminum
piece (although most of it is in the
fields).

It's not solder, imo.

Based on what I can see in all the photos,
it got on the coin after it was in circulation.

It wouldn't hurt to have someone else
look at it in-hand, just to be sure.

 

Gum...pick if off with a toothpick

 

Debris stuck to the surface of a normal coin.

 

You'll find the witches on you tube.Don't bother Blue Ridge ...................., but some of the others maybe.

 

OMG! Are there ANY YouTube video makers who are NOT morons!?!?!?
