Hi all,
Just wondering if these 2 coins could have come from the mint like this or have they been tampered with....

Wow! I must admit, I do not know, woody. But that 1975 almost looks like it was cast, though why anyone would make a cast copy is beyond me. Acid bath? I don't know if nickel reacts with acid this way or not.

I agree with Jack, second one has had some thing spilled on it as well.

I wondered more about the second one as the marking doesn't touch the leaf or the rock - maybe because they're raised (?)
