SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 08/16/2017 11:24 pm The ring looks awfully white... is the coin attracted to a magnet?

That could be almost anything, including just laying on the ground for a while. It's very hard to know what the source of the damage is. Report this Post to the Staff
