Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/04/2017 3:52 pm Hey RobertP! Yea, once the surface metals have been affected by corrosive skin oils, they actually change properties faster than the areas around them, uneven toning actually. That's the reason to always handle coins by the rim! Can't see the rim as well! Edited by Crazyb0 09/04/2017 3:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/04/2017 7:21 pm If it is the same coin, then I notice 2 scratches, one at the ear and one at around the temple area. Also, there's some dull powder residue left on the surface. Report this Post to the Staff
