<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rob Robert, post: 4845279, member: 114653&quot;]This coin appears to the naked eye and my magnifier, to have a bronze cladding on</p><p>the reverse. What is being seen is a hole in the cladding and it has been lifted and it&#039;s thickness is evident. There is a microscopic amount of green verdigris around the perimeter and what appears to be a very small amount of bronze on the copper where the two metals were married(?). The die strike appears to be perfect across the entire reverse. Nothing has been glued that can be seen and there is no electroplating. Certainly could be a hoax meant to deceive, but it would have been done by someone with a high degree of skill and tooling only to end up in my pocket change! Like I said, it&#039;s unusual and my curiosity is piqued. I&#039;m going to walk it in to an expert who can do an in person evaluation/inspection. It needs to go under the microscope! When it happens, I will try and follow up. Thank you for your appraisals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
