This is solder and damage that happened after mint but is not a mint error and no extra value.

living in the least populated county in Iowa is not conducive to internet speed.

lol how do you think tbe solder got on it? had to have been applied in circulation. Daniel, evidently you have seen similar coins. is this then a ploy to cheat folks? I saw on ebay some fellow had coins with chunks taken out kind of like a cookie cut at the end of a gripe. Dont know how many but it eas alot and I've never seen one.

the triangle addition on the obverse is equal to the metal missing on the reverse. How or with what do the use to do this?

Someone put the solder on the coin before it was in the ground. I have seen coins like this and people play with coins a lot, some to fool people others just because they can. I do know this is NOT a CUD or mint error.

If anything a fire could possibly cause this damage as well.
