ProfLiz Valued Member United States 373 Posts	Posted 04/02/2014 09:38 am I actually think it is an AU details coin, but definitely corroded and cleaned. The tiny "pits" on the smooth parts of both sides of the coin are the remains of corrosion, which was cleaned off in the past. Report this Post to the Staff
