<p>[QUOTE="Tunakahuna13, post: 3831387, member: 108229"]This happens due to a higher temperature setting during the annealing process and if it 8s a black beauty, it will retain 100 percent of 5he mint luster. If ANY luster is affected, it's a foreign substance and would be considered pmd. Their are lots of other luster compound issues possible as well. I collect luster compound error coins. They take 40 or 50 years to oxidize through much thicker luster layers but are also some of the highest recorded tones coin sales you'll ever see. I have 2 of these btw. Let people say environmental damage and you can steal wm all day for melt value. It's always nice o see people assuming at there own cost and your own savings. Great find. I'd almost guarantee it is an annealing error. Shows all signs. I'd ask at least 500 out of it and could bring significantly more at auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
