dd27 Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 07/17/2016 12:37 am By 'corrupted' I mean inappropriately cleaned, doctored, or such. I think it is because a) it looks 'too shiny'; b) at 7x it looks quite 'pocked' (if that's a word... - pockmarks). My apologies for the fuzzy photo. I posted in the photographing coins forum about how to take better pics. Thanks! Mark Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/17/2016 05:25 am I agree with it being re-plated. And with that finger print on it makes it a spender,IMHO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
