The centre core appears to be almost silver in colour, but darker than the outer ring. The coin was removed from a PL set. All other coins in the set were normal colour. Can anyone out there shine any light on this coin. I have included a couple of pics showing the colour variance. Report this Post to the Staff

Set collectors acknowledge them as a variety. There has been a discrepancy over the metal composition in the past and don't believe every thing you read about them. Report this Post to the Staff
