Izzylizzy Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 09:31 am Ok so on the obverse it appears to have a 2nd rim on the inside of the main one at first I thought coin roller PMD but when I use my magnifier the line seems to run UNDER the letters kinda through them but not rubbed over the top if that makes sense. As well as around his forehead nose area the surface looks like it's spider webbed they don't look like scratches though! If u can see in the pic it also seems to have a pearled effect the reverse pic don't show it very well but it's the pearl not the white coating they get.. ? The reverse also has the spider web look and pearl look but not the rim issue... Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

nss-52 Moderator United States 46035 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 09:45 am Perhaps a spray coating of some sort, that has since started to wear off.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 12973 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 09:54 am I'm seeing a bit of a Ridge Ring on the obverse--a sign of Die Deterioration. The 'luminescent coating', or film, is likely the result of exposure to or immersion in a liquid containing compounds which remained on the coin's surface when it 'dried'. Circulation wear has removed some of the film. Does look kinda cool. Report this Post to the Staff

Izzylizzy Valued Member Topic Starter United States 152 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 12:26 pm No way can I get better pics to show the webbing better but I guess the spray coating makes sense cause that's what it looks like cracked paint when it's dry and cracked!!! Report this Post to the Staff
dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 12:44 pm I'm in agreement with Die Deterioration on the obverse. I have numerous, much older cents that have the blue cast on them. Is that some sort of environmental damage? I have too many coins within decades of one another that have this issue. Thoughts?

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 7:00 pm Hmmmm...it's interesting to think about what happened to the older cents, and with what chemicals. Thanks Cujohn! Report this Post to the Staff
