@ upstate,I purchased a small lot of coins and they were stored in a metal box with other Peace and Morgans and some smaller silver coins.
I think that is why there is darker toning through the middle where a coin perhaps was overlapping the 21 Peace dollar.
I dare not to attempt removing it.
Edit, added.
there were a lot of Canadian 5 cent and 10 cent coins and even an 1871 Quarter. I will post that soon in the other section of Canadian coins since I am not up to date on those. But its not the type 1. Most of the coins were dark but original.
