Agree. Glue or some other material has adhered to the surface. There is no part of that minting process that would produce a coin with that appearance. Your coin also looks well circulated.

had not thought of that, but under high magnification it looks like a small wave of metal. I will look closer to see if glue is the case
coin has discoloration and wear for sure, the green tint is from the microscope i am using for some reason. i have been studying the die making process and stages of wear as well as reasons for errors etc. . thanks for your input,
The coin is lime green. The surface the coin is on is lime green.
Your avatar is lime green. Do you have a lime green filter on your camera? Anyway........I feel like having a vodka and lime now. Maybe two or three!
Oh yea, I almost forgot.........WELCOME ABOARD!!!!!
@revman74 ....Welcome aboard....soak the coin in acetone...will not affect the metal, but will remove glue and other organic contamination. Let us know what you find. Cheers, RickO
