A friend of mine at work gave me this when she found it, they all know I collect coins lol, so they bring me interesting things if they ever find any. At first I thought someone had painted over this dollar, but now I am not sure. It sort of looks like its missing the plating....take a look for yourselves !
I found a couple of these a while ago. I suspected the same thing but after having several people check it out and with the weight being normal, it was determined to be environmental damage.
Yeah, I've had a few of these, too, always on the older loonies. I agree with ikandiggit, I think it's just environmental damage. I just spent them, but now you got me thinking, Royal -- maybe I should've kept one!
