Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 06/28/2013 2:38 pm I would agree, however it has cool looking toning. Is there any luster present? Report this Post to the Staff

GoldenChest Pillar of the Community United States 814 Posts	Posted 06/28/2013 8:16 pm Are the areas raised? The parts with the weird toning. Its definetly PMD, just very intriguing. Report this Post to the Staff
coinfox1 Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 06/29/2013 12:02 am Hey goldenchest. Sorry about the delay I'm back on now for few minutes. the weird toning areas don't seem to be raised. It reminds me of like a chocolate swirl or something the way the colors are mixed up. so you don't think this happened at the mint? Report this Post to the Staff

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 06/29/2013 1:32 pm Looks like some sort of glue or epoxy on the coin. Soak it in acetone for a little while. Bet it comes off. Report this Post to the Staff
