ter215 Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 11/30/2016 10:15 pm hi dustin, whats crazy is why would someone try to cover up whatever defect that was there? it's a penny, you can see the line that goes across that area.....you can also see the cover up in the photo from reverse, that little spot that was filled in.....thanks.

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 11/30/2016 10:29 pm I don't think it's a stain. It may be a spot that somehow got a corrosive that dissolves Copper but not Zinc on it. It almost appears as if something ate the Copper plating away in that area only. It doesn't look right for a partial plate. Report this Post to the Staff
