M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 12/08/2014 8:20 pm Both sides look like a strike through, yet on the obverse it's shows incuse non-linear cracking, the reverse has nothing similar it seems more lizard skin or how a mud pit looks when it's dried up. Would love to hear your thoughts. Cheers. Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2522 Posts	Posted 12/08/2014 8:42 pm Looks corroded to me, some sort of environmental damage. A buried coin or found in saltwater coin perhaps? Report this Post to the Staff
