<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2821810, member: 84179&quot;]Please understand that there have been a lot of New Member trolls on here recently, so that may explain some of the comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on your pics, a number of experienced collectors and numismatists on CT have the opinion that your coin is not a mint error and have pointed out some reasons why.&nbsp; Many clad coins turn this color when buried; If the surfaces are copper, it would have had to have circulated for awhile without being noticed for it to tarnish to that brown color; and there appears to pitting on the front.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe it&#039;s an error, but a lot of things point to it being environmental damage.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t like the opinions you received, pony up the $20-$40, send it to PCGS, NGC or ANACS, and see what they say.&nbsp; If it turns out to be an error, feel free to post saying &quot;I told you so&quot;.&nbsp; It will help the rest of us learn.&nbsp; But the overwhelming opinion is for you to save your money.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, either send it to be slabbed or be quiet[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
