Here is another.

I'm sure you going to tell me this is a lamination Error.

If you have ever worked with Material that delaminates, which you probably have not. This is not even close.

I am only posting facts and not just because "it has always been that way"

I will be publishing an article with hundreds of example disproving old theories.

When copper is exposed to high heat and pressure, it undergoes oxidation, resulting in a range of colors including dark orange, pink, blue, and even silver.

Go back to your science classes. Respectfully

There was many variables that struck this coin over others. Heat, Pressure and others.

No two coins will not be struck the same.

Your overlays that you recommend are specific to one coin that it was templated from and not all coin in the same year and mint.

The odds of two coins being struck the same identical are astronomical with all the variables, Pressure, Heat, RPM (revolutions per minute) power surges, Planchette size and weight and many more.

Each coin would have to be struck in the exact same environment and variables.

They can't even get proof coins perfect.

The only ones are the ones that had the perfect condition or variables and stike

Something to ponder.

Visual is the best inspection
