Dearborn Moderator United States 101348 Posts	Posted Yesterday 3:23 pm OK folks, what is the cause here? I thought initially a Dryer Coin - the thin rims and the edge is all damages as well Could be heat or more likely intense fire damage. Maybe a dug coin? Collecting since 1972.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5833 Posts	Posted Today 7H 21M ago With the thin rims and pourous, pitted surfaces I'm on the "coorosive environment" train. The darkness seems like that could be from being dug. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
