That being said I am wondering how many different ways modern coinage ends up like this. I've got a few examples that have me puzzled. like this latest find from a Loomis roll of quarters. This poor chap has seen better days.... maybe. Report this Post to the Staff

Your quarter has been damaged by heat, such as from spending time in a campfire.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 02/01/2023 5:37 pm What mean for you Brown acid? Sorry, I have to ask because it is ambiguous for me. I do not think we has to made a forensic investigation for this coin because at the bottom of the line will not matter the cause of damage. Report this Post to the Staff
