47P7 Pillar of the Community Canada 1278 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 2:57 pm Is it an error? or some kind of PMD? or is it caused by some other issue? unlikely that it is just simple toning? Personally, I do not believe it is caused by chemicals and I also do not think, having the coin in hand, that it was buried. But, who knows? weight is 4.57 grams Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 56029 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 3:02 pm Possibly in a fire or similar? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Pillar of the Community Canada 9435 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 3:26 pm It didn't look like that when it was struck so it has to be damage of some sort. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 38550 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 3:49 pm Environmental damage of some sort. Maybe it was in a fire or buried for a time in the ground. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 5+ Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff

NO absolutely no indication anywhere. Magnetic? Yes edge: is clean smooth =used Pacific I never had the opportunity to see your shop in victoria. Where was it? I normally patronized Ron Fr., Clay, Mike and the Russian,, but there were no deals from him. plus a couple of private guys. got some top stuff from Ron. he was more into stamps. do you think there will be a show this year?

TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 529 Posts	Posted 03/09/2021 5:56 pm Sorry, I missed seeing the weight in your original post. Items that are cast can have many tiny dots such as your coin. Cast spelter would have a similar appearance and could turn black. However, being magnetic and the correct weight confirm it's real and nickel. That leaves environmental damage - sewer coin or sat in road salt and mud a long time. It's only worth 5 cents so scratch the edge and it should be shiny. Case closed.
