Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 12/20/2023 10:43 am Unfortunately that is surface staining (or more precisely it looks like the natural toning of copper has been stripped away). That makes this damage as well. I do not think it is due to incomplete mixing of the alloy.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19290 Posts	Posted 12/20/2023 11:37 am Agree with Spence. For fun, try giving the coin a long soak in 100% acetone. May (may...) remove or reduce any dried surface crud/film which might be involved. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99483 Posts	Posted 12/20/2023 6:13 pm a chemical reaction to something that was resting on this coin? It is a stain of some sort. Collecting since 1972.
