  1. @Coinbuf, @RWB, @Mike Meenderink , and @ldhair,  this brings up a question in my mind that you all could maybe cipher on for me. The OP post an NGC UCam gem proof. The great examples Mike provided are PF70 UCam. Am I wrong or does NGC consider gem or gem proof to be between PF or MS66 and PF or MS69 and labeled so as being understood, explaining no numeric for grade. If so How then would the value be affected? 
    Also why would there be no bar code for identification.

    My first coin for the set is probably the most common in the series - 1912-D (PCGS50).  However, this one had "the look" I am after - a medium toned grey with luster underneath.  I want original coins, and this will slow me down as much as anything else in this series.  My goal is to have every coin look very similar to this one in condition, color, luster and eye appeal.

    Very nice starter….

    Could someone please explain this to me. 

    I pull up this census report and click on variety, wanting to know what the variety is for this coin.

    Then this page comes up.  What is the variety?

    Copper color is it post mint damage or mint errorIMG_0618.jpeg.c98e6708c25de48485bb35b959f2b17e.jpeg

    I have shown you where a coin was verified to have missing clad error on one side of a dime before striking, (copper showing as in your op question) now  the question is has there ever been verification of clad error missing from both sides of the same coin before being struck. 🤔

    I don’t want you to think I am suggesting these coins have any great monetary value but knowledge of all the possibile whys are very valuable when searching..

    I don't appreciate your condescending remarks.  I have no desire tracking down what you are the one claiming exists which I have not previously seen, and now believe to be just you blowing smoke that a coin with a similar appearance was attributed by CONECA as a mint error.

    Condescending, lol, that was just a nudge, lol…..

    Are you thinking the darker color is from an improperly annealed planchet and that the other spots or colors are from circulation?  Maybe you could post some examples of coins with a similar appearance attributed by CONECA as being a mint error, as opposed to simply opinions in a chat concerning the discoloration.

    Apparently you had no desire, or maybe not the ability to search the Coneca online for something so simple.

    it seems you hold your opinion at a higher value than that of others. I shared the source and one coin of fact, do I also need to copy and paste for you?

    my statement to the OP was that it is not impossible, with proof to verify the statement. 

     

  7. The above responses are not totally accurate, it is not impossible for a coin to have a mint clad error before being struck. I have seen coins (Roosevelt dimes) verified by Coneca as being this. How the environment affects these errors in circulation varies from environment to environment

    If you would like to read an example, go in to Coneca….forums….and search 2000 D Roosevelt dime
