coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/04/2014 11:53 am I agree with die wear. But it appears the coin has been reprocessed. It shouldn't have the shiny look. When a coin is reprocessed the imperfections stand out like a sore thumb. Zinc makes the coin dull in appearance. Report this Post to the Staff

Some with beautiful light blue toning. It looks right to me. Reprocessed coins usually have a "chromed" look where they are reflective. It looks like a standard plating "shadow" to me. However; there are several very subtle RPMs that can only be seen with higher magnification/resolution. Report this Post to the Staff
