Hello Guys
I found another strange one for you guys it seams to have some plating blisters with some holes on the mouth of the qweens mouth and the edge as well I noticed it has a copper color on the edge and is magnetic so it's not copper and I noticed it had a possible die crack on the caribous horn on the front and I really can't make it out ? I have never seen this on a coin before and I am hoping you guys can help me find out why this coin has so much wrong with it?
Thanks

just an amateur's opinion....wear damage likely/possibly from spending time in a dryer

There was nothing wrong with the coin when it left the mint. Since then it has suffered damage
and has some plating blisters. Just a spender now.

Coinguy's remarks are right on the money

agree with coinguy too - the differences could be accidental damage and it looks like there is corrosion on the one photo too.

It's rusting from the inside out.
The fate of all plated steel coins eventually.

Awsome thank you for you're input now I will be able to tell the difference from what was done at the mint and what damages that are common cause by rust or others 😁
Thanks guys
