My girlfriend found this and gave it to me knowing about my newly found hobby 6 months ago and I didn't think anything of it. After getting a good microscope and loupe and checking this out recently..I realized this has both images on both sides. Can anyone tell me what I have here. Thanks for all the help. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Those dark patches are just surface staining as noted by @e&v.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/30/2019 03:08 am It is possible that your coin has adhesive residue on it. Leftover glue from shenanigans can create the appearance of a reverse image on either side of the coin. I hope that makes sense. Acetone may be able to remove that and reveal a normal coin.
