[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 682571, member: 4350"]It is a matter of logic. It has to be something added to the surface as a clear portion of the last digit and the D mint mark is visible. Next, you can still see most of the rim. The rim acted as a barrier to keep whatever that foreign material is from spilling over the edge. It can't be a giant "CUD" error which I'm sure some people will try to say it is because the rim is still visible. If the die broke forming a CUD, the rim would have broken off as well. The only logical conclusion is foreign material added to the surface of the coin. What it is cant be determined from a picture. The fact that it looks like the same material is purely coincidental. There is nothing in the Minting process that can cause this. It can't be a split planchet error as the coin would be thinner and the mint mark would likely be missing. PS: I've seen this kind of thing before:-) Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
