coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/20/2015 10:43 am There is a darken area on the obverse at about 7:00. So someone may have tried cleaning it with something too strong and ruined the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 01/20/2015 12:00 pm Looks like someone bought it for cheap because someone didn't like the fact that it had toned. Then they decided to dip it in Tarn-X for an hour or two. Report this Post to the Staff

Bishftl - have you done the magnet test? My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
