<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 25611716, member: 1859&quot;]Thanks for posting excellent photos.&nbsp; This does not look like glue.&nbsp; It does look like a genuine error from here, but one that I have no experience with.&nbsp; It seems to me that the surface of the planchet was exfoliating, and the bits of metal were struck back into the intact portion of the planchet.&nbsp; Either that, or numerous bits of metallic debris were struck into the coin.&nbsp; Can you provide a precise weight?&nbsp; That might tell us whether the struck-in metal is intrinsic to the planchet or is an add-on.&nbsp; I would love to examine it up close and write it up for my Coin World column (Collectors&#039; Clearinghouse).&nbsp; By the way, if NGC is perceptive enough to recognize it as a genuine error, they&#039;re likely to apply a humdrum label like &quot;defective planchet&quot;.&nbsp; Not very illuminating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
