<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4952801, member: 84179&quot;]From your pics, it looks like the lower points of the reeding are silver colored not copper which would indicate it was plated at one time.&nbsp; If not, it could have been polished.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just because it looks different doesn&#039;t mean its an error.&nbsp; If there is something that could have occurred during the minting process to make your coin look like that, one of the members would have said so.&nbsp; There are a number of members who are very knowledgeable of the minting process and regularly read and post here.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if its not plating or polishing, what type of error Might it be?&nbsp; You can always see if it matches anything on <a href="http://www.error-ref.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com" rel="nofollow">www.error-ref.com</a>. You can also look up some of the minting sites/videos that have been posted to see if you can Provide a plausible theory on what happened.&nbsp; Foreign planchet? That&#039;s not possible since its clad.&nbsp; 40% clad?&nbsp; The mint stopped using that almost 20 years prior to your coin plus they didn&#039;t have a copper core.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The more you know about the minting process the easier it is to differentiate between real errors and junk.&nbsp; It takes time, but is worth it if you&#039;re going to search for errors[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
