coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/10/2022 08:22 am The dark areas could be carbon spots. They are inside of the planchet. They do not go away. They get worse with time. Note the pretty toning? It is from the carbon spot on the rim at 10:00 of the coin: So they are not a good thing. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 01/10/2022 7:38 pm From metallurgical point of view: If your photo show relative color of the coin it is clean and also R and O show small parallel lines, like some how the coin was polish. Coop has a really point about the black spots with heavy C, This could be the planchet or like could be due to the cleaning process as well. I will go more versus carbon residue from cleaning process. Report this Post to the Staff
