    It's not a lamination or die cracks, imo.



    It appears to be a liquid stain or ? that dried up.



    I've seen that effect on other silver coins.

    That was embarrassing image I thought "Oh crap, Fred Weinberg commented and he thinks it's a stain".

    So I rinsed it under tap water, then dunked it in acetone...

    Did you weigh it to see if it's real?

    ...and, did the anomaly come off?

    If that area is still there after the acetone,

    it could still be a stain or some type.



    I just don't see it as die cracks or laminations.

    It looks raised at the edges to me...possibly glue or some other non-metallic adherent?

    Hmm. 26.7 grams, I have no doubt it's real. Acetone and water didn't touch the bulges. They sure look like excess metal to me under magnification.

    Why not send it to Fred? He would be able to study it in hand... Cheers, RickO

    The whole coin looks suspicious. In any case I would not want it.

    Looks raised to me, which would either imply die fractures (very unlikely on a genuine die) or planchet lamination (more likely). You're sure it's not counterfeit?

    Pretty confident it's real. More inclined to believe it's a foreign substance if a legit mint something-or-other is not likely.

    The coin is genuine, as far as I'm concerned.



    That's not the issue.

    Fred, This may be a planchet issue. Note how the "breaks" in the surface run thru the "1" & "OD."
  • FredWeinbergFredWeinberg Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Although the "D" --might-- --might-- be a small lamination,

    after looking at all the other bag marks, etc. on the coin

    I lean towards those areas ( 1, OD,) as marks, not laminations.

    This 28 Peace has the throat feature, although worn, crappy pic, not mine, was just looking around.
