    Fair enough, the rev looks especially off and the mushy poorly defined details are suspicious and could support the post mint replating suggestion.

    The label will apparently read "Mint Error" with the heavy plating mentioned as the error.

    I assume if it was PMP (post mint plating) then it would have been body bagged or listed as "damage" with the plating mentioned.

    If, hypothetically, they missed the plating.
