Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 8:29 pm Looks like the obverse was exposed (obverse down) to some corrosive material...this is classified as environmental damage. KK Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34453 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 11:18 pm I agree not heat damage because the reverse isn't showing the same damage. My vote is for acid, but not immersion, but rather just enough to cover the obverse inside the rim.
