jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3164 Posts	Posted 09/24/2015 8:52 pm received a coin today that looked decent enough on the obverse and reverse. More tannish in color and less red than sellers pics. The rim however looks a bit strange to me. About 90 percent of it looks ok. Uniform light brown color. The other 10 percent looked either almost black with some untoned reddish areas near the blackish area. Sign of recoloring that didn't work very well on the rim? Report this Post to the Staff
