andywoj00 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 03/06/2019 1:50 pm It's sad when someone does this. I'd like to find one of these that is circulated, but still a bit crisp. This was in pocket change. Thanks for the look....Andy Report this Post to the Staff

Cupro-nickel coins typically go this color when they have been buried. My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
