It might have been sitting out in the rain, or in a public fountain or swimming pool, or been stuck in a commercial washing machine for a while. It might even have been buried and dug up again. All of these things coul cause such discolouration. It's also seen considerable wear on the high points, which to me lends credence to the "washing machine" hypothesis. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19108 Posts	Posted 06/13/2021 07:47 am Agree. The first coin was exposed to a somewhat harsh environment for a time--accounting for the dull, harsh 'look' (no luster). I'm leaning toward a spell in a pool, pond, or fountain.
