djhughes Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 06/19/2011 4:10 pm I got this coin a few days ago and it was in a 2x2. I took it out to get some good pic and when I did I noticed dark spots on the edge. Any ideal what they are from? Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 06/19/2011 4:48 pm Now that I think about it, I believe that to be a form of album toning that occurs in whitman folders. I've noticed that a lot on silver coins that I've purchased in the old whitmans. Report this Post to the Staff
