jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5208 Posts	Posted 02/16/2014 10:51 pm Looks like a coin that had been overdipped (porous surfaces) and left to die a slow death. I have a counterstamped Half Cent that accidentally got beer spilled on it and it looks cleaned / discolored where the beer hit it. There are "circulated cameo" coins where the coin is dark but the high points area lighter color. This coins does not exhibit those details. Report this Post to the Staff
