Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 04:45 am The weight is at 5.5, so maybe I thought it could have been cleaned... But the brassy color is coming from the fields out. Has nice clashes though. You can see some wings behind GW's ponytail. The strike also seems much finer than normal. Any ideas on it?

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 04:53 am Nice clash,obverse and reverse but not enough for a premium. The color makes me think a once buried coin,environmental damage. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 10:08 am I not sure of what has caused the toning, but I don't think it looked like this from the mint. It does have a nice die clash. Here's an overlay of a Washington quarter to help locate all of the clash marks. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 1:03 pm Note the circulation wear on the hair? The color has rubbed off those areas. It was an outdoor find. Turned dark for a while. If you carried it for a time in your pocket, you will eventually see the normal color come back again. On a missing clad, the color doesn't wear off of the devices and the coin is a darker red and the strike are usually weaker when one of both clads are missing: Edited by coop 09/05/2020 1:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
