[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 144593, member: 705"]Well there are a few things that this could be.... BUT before we do that....take the fingers off the coin...that right there will kill the value--always hold coins by the rim (or edge)....your fingers will leave some of the oils on the coin and down the road fingerprints will show up....most of the time it can take the value down 50%. NOW...back to the coin... It could be plated--IMHO the detail could still be this good and be plated...it doesn't always mess it up like your dealer stated. Then sometimes the strike is sooo hard (its a few tons anyhow) that the metal will ooz over the rim and kindof cover up the clad layer....we have had a few cases found here of that. I highly doubt that this is an off metal error....but there is one way to find out without sending it to get graded....get the weight of the coin. Any dealer should be able to do this for you...just go in and ask them to weigh a coin. Speedy[/QUOTE]
