What the heck is this? Looks like post mint damage to me? What say you?

Error?

    I think it looks legit as an error. Hard to tell with the tilt of those photos.

    It is a mint error, but it is not worth $30,000.

    I didn't see the joke of the $30,000 price tag. It will command a small premium, but I can't see it being worth more than $100 or so.

    I think the seller florida_girl_all_toned must have spent too much time in the sun, as if it's legit it may only be worth a small % of her asking on a good day.

    And what's with the 'It will be sent into PCGS as soon as I can get the time'? Is he selling it or keeping it???? I guess obviously at his asking price that he's keeping it....

    I don't like the looks of it. A struck-in or rolled-in piece of copper should have a narrow fissure surrounding it. This doesn't.

    The scans aren't the best, but it looks like it might be an
    occluded gas bubble (improper metal mixture of the planchet
    strip, before it was punched) that "popped" after the coin
    was struck.

    If it's genuine, and it does appear so, we're seeing the copper
    that didn't mix properly with the silver composition.

    Value: maybe $20-$35 over a normal coin, or thereabouts,
    at least for this particular coin (looks cleaned)

    Looks to me like its on the surface, I think it was touching a piece of iron or something while wet,when they were separated it left the corroded iron, the coloring to the right looks like its a stain from the corroded iron.

    an annealment problem from the mint worth a couple of bucks. 30k is moronic.

    The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale.

    Well done!
