So I think I found my first real error coin… normally I’m on here asking if it’s error or PMD … but I really feel like it is… so what do you guys think? If it’s not then put me down gently please ! But I know it is!!!
Environmental exposure toning. Something affected the Cupronickel clad to make it tone a darker color. Not a mint error of any kind unfortunately.
Agree PMD…environmental damage and maybe some heat damage. Just a regular ‘ol hand-made gouge. across IGWT…Spark
Are you perceiving a planchet flaw above FDR's ear? There's so much road rash around it that I think it's only damage, and the dark stain is giving you the impression that it's something else.
Boy you boys are tough. Why don’t you at least tell her the good news? It’s still worth ten cents, nice find.
She thought this was a Mint error. I find coins like this in the parking lot. Anyway, I was joking. She seemed so in need of positive reinforcement.
