GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/17/2016 9:07 pm Environmental damaged .... It could be a lot of things ... those coins were exposed to something. Could have been in some brackish water a short time ..then recovered by a guy with a metal detector. Could have stored in a bag that got wet/damp The list could be endless...

Omegaraptor Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 10/17/2016 11:47 pm These coins are fairly new, so probably enviro damage. Many old coins get toning like this, they are sometimes called "circulation cameo" as an affectionate term from collectors. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 07:46 am I agree it is environmental damage of some kind.Could be a metal detector find or maybe they were in a fire.Not an error or variety,they are spenders...IMHO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187446 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 10:41 am I will say environmental exposure rather than damage because that half dollar looks pretty cool. The quarter might find improvement after being a pocket piece for a while. They will not make you rich, but they are certainly fun.
