[QUOTE="NormW, post: 3139671, member: 46682"]I am not any kind of mint error expert, but I have done a lot of hand metal work for 30 or so years. If it had been exposure to heat, I would expect discoloration around the lettering and other protected spots, even after a lot of circulation. If it was don with a hammer or press, I would expect more marks or abrasions. There looks to be a little flattened area on Georges' cheek and jaw line area, but I would need to see more pictures. Then again, I have no idea how it could have happened at the mint either.[/QUOTE]
