Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/25/2019 09:15 am Ex-jewelry is a good guess. Somehow, part of the rim was protected from the toning process. Report this Post to the Staff
Daves Errors Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 08/25/2019 11:51 am It almost looks like someone hit it with a torch testing the metal Or acid test.I don't think it was jewelry cause that would be a odd spot for a loop to hang it on a chain. It would be over the E not the S so the coin would be Oriented Correctly. Edited by Daves Errors 08/25/2019 11:54 am Report this Post to the Staff

That light spot above the s in states is rough and sticks out on the edge. It is why I thought it might be plated. The light part on the edge looks like a thin layer has been removed. Not particularly like it was protected. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21794 Posts	Posted 08/26/2019 03:55 am This coin suffers from differential toning. I feel that is the reason for the light spot above the 'S' in 'STATES" also. One possibility that I have considered is that it may have been in a wrapper at some stage, and that wrapper was partly torn near the edge of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
