[QUOTE="muhfff, post: 2274446, member: 71559"]Got this coin recently and I can't figure out what happened. There seem to be "splashes" of extra metal on legend and coats of arms, but not on coin fields (except in legend area of course, in V and AR area). The extra metal itself seems to be silver (actually it would be more precise to say, it doesn't appear to be tin or lead, although I haven't tested it and can't be 100% sure). The coin weights 11,92 grams (official weight is 12,00 grams), condition (if the "splashes" not counted) seems to be low MS. The "hairlines" (on the picture) seems to be die polish lines (raised lines). The other side of the coin is perfectly normal. So, what do You think? Mint error or post mint damage? What happened? Did somebody tried to make jewellery? Has anybody seen something similar? Sorry for bad pictures, but hopefully they are descriptive enough.
