    found this coin roll hunting today. I need error specialist to tell me what’s going on here. Misaligned die on obverse? But what’s up with the left side of the reverse? Close up it looks like a deep half circle stamp.

    Anyone with opinions?

    Funky color is the only reason I pulled it. It’s not a gold plated more brass colored.

    Thanks for your help

    Everything you see on the surfaces occurred
    after it was already in circulation.

    Could be glue or ? on the reverse left side, but
    in any case, both sides are 'enviornmentally'
    damaged. Not original surfaces.

    Yeah, I am more interested in the misalignment of the obverse and the “oddity” on the reverse. Not glue, I am not an error guy so just interested if it is anything or throw it back into the wild.

    Thanks

    Yes, the obverse is a mis-aligned die,
    but the surfaces of both sides are not
    original.

    Looks like this coin is using too much ProActive...

    Nice MAD. I would keep it for that, but not much value.
