Something ain't right with this 1956 Rosy

[Dancer]

Got this dot on it (both sides) and it just doesn't feel right. Only coin found on the hunt. Salt water beach in Panama City Beach. Any ideas ?

Check with coin dealer, as it could be a printing error when coin was made but to be on both sides --there had to be wax or something on each side of coin--How about revealing the REVERSE side?? Ma

Well that find is "spot on!" I'm guessing a barnicle of some sort. Lucky year too ~ my 89 year old parents got married in '56..
still together and both are doing great (I'm a lucky son). The ocean treats silver in weird ways. Hoping you find some "spotless" gold coins soon!

Some errors in coins can be unique or worth a lot of money. look for information and above all do not touch/clean it

I'll get a picture of the reverse, but it's like, it goes right through. And it's hard.

Then, I would say something happened during MINTING THE COIN process & you could have a very valuable coin; so, no cleaning,, touching or rubbing (if it can be prevented) Oh & by the way! THE BIBLE says, "To SHARE"--LOL! Ma

Or someone playing with a spot-welder.
Hopefully Not.

Strange indeed. Do the dots/ holes come close to lining up with each other ?
Are they even with the rest of the surface or is there an indent on both sides?

 

[fwcrawford]

That is a strange looking coin!!

Drill press

That’s along the lines of what I’m thinking

The reverse matches up as if drilled. I believe it's too clean to be a defect. What ever it's filled with (no idea) is smooth to match the surface. And was able to withstand being kicked around a salt water beach. I'll be headed home in March and have it looked at by a coinest.

someone was bored at the machine shop lol

That's one of those, " if the coin could only talk." Certainly would be fun to know the story behind it. HH jim tn

The first picture shows an edge that looks like what you get when a drill comes through ... then the other piece got pressed in. Looks like the pressed in piece might be copper.

Not drilled thru, maybe a glue to secure a clamp like device to make homemade earrings?

Hmm, that's a possibility.

No matter what, it's an interesting and weird find.

Interesting coin.
