1898 British Trade dollar, designed by George William De Saulles. This one was minted in Bombay -- the mint mark is on the middle prong of the trident.

No, that is what happens when the molecular structure of the coin moves do to temperature.

Quote: that is what happens when the molecular structure of the coin moves do to temperature. Assuming you mean "due", what does your comment mean?

Quote: No, that is what happens when the molecular structure of the coin moves due to temperature. No, what I am seeing is a pullaway effect with the toning. This is usually a good indicator that the toning is natural. It is a function of the metal being linearized during the strike, with elements close to the rim, and thus restricting it's ability to patinate the way the other metal has around it.
