[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4706046, member: 105098"]Well, to me, more than not, it looks like it is what would be called an improperly annealed quarter or sintered planchet. However, you'd need to send it to a grading company and get one of their graders to agree with you on that and put it in a slab with that on it. there's a lot of skepticism on ungraded examples... even then, it's not like a "home run" they usually sell slabbed for less than the costs to get it slabbed. but if you wanted it for your collection, I can understand paying the fees to get it slabbed with it on it. the luster of the improper annealing error coin will typically be uninterrupted and flowing freely over the discolorations. Luster flow lines struck into annealed surfaces. in other words, the luster will still be there with the discoloration and when you turn it in the light it will still show the cartwheel behind the discolorations. Corrosion or environmental damage will disfigure or destroy luster. you'll lose the cartwheel effect. luster will be interrupted.[/QUOTE]
