Moonshine Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 05/26/2007 8:38 pm Hello, Do ya think someone did this with a wire brush? Almost too uniform and the inside of the number's and letter's are even! If so they must of had steady finger's to get it so even, It would of been in the next county if I tryed it I think I'll call it my dog coin (ruff-ruff) What you think?

Benji Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 05/26/2007 8:52 pm I would guess environmental damage/corrosion. The rims are pretty well intact for sanding/wire brush? Report this Post to the Staff

garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 05/26/2007 10:54 pm I could be wrong but I would say that your coin spent a few days or weeks in a river. that is the same damage you would see on scrap metal or stones that spend time in a running river. the sand more or less sand blasts the coin. that's just a guess though but it is my Two Cents Gary Report this Post to the Staff
