moose59 Pillar of the Community United States 732 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 8:52 pm Here is a 1942 Wheaties the has had something happen to the reverse side. I thought at first maybe a chemical! But then it doesn't affect the whole area. some portions of the letters are untouched. Also the Obverse is totally un damaged. Any clue? Report this Post to the Staff

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/29/2018 6:39 pm Looks like the upper part of the reverse had something covering it and when the substance was removed, the color difference with the bottom part, exposed to normal wear was apparent.
