<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 24634978, member: 24314&quot;]The first things MOST SHOUD NOTICE in the image are the multi <span style="color: #ffa64d">copper colored</span> flecks on the coin.&nbsp; You can tell they are raised bits of debris because of the shadow at the edge of some of the flecks.&nbsp; Since these are <span style="color: #ffa64d">copper color </span>and since the coin is clad it can be assumed that <b>these are </b>bits of <span style="color: #ffa64d">copper contamination </span>left on some part of the mint machenery after the coin was struck that became attached to the coin.&nbsp; One member noticed that this is a mint error so the defective planchet did not completely fill the die chamber.&nbsp; That&#039;s one possible reason the flecks became attached to the struck coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
