To me your coin looks more like it was found outdoors at one time. The color still tells me the cladding is still there, just toned a bit. Note on the nose how the silver color is there after the toning has been rubbed off at the high points? Edited by coop 02/15/2015 08:26 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 10:56 am Note the silver color coming through on the coin. It is environmental damage as Eva mentioned. They mave been homeless for a time outdoors. Turned color and found and put back into circulation Report this Post to the Staff
