Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 04/23/2018 8:40 pm I was talking more about the color crazyBo. I think it's that green stuff but couldn't find the correct term. It doesn't come off I've soaked it in acetone Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 04/23/2018 9:48 pm @wilburton it looks to me like environmental or chemical exposure stained the copper plating. By "green stuff", you might mean verdegris, bronze disease, or PVC slime but I don't think that this coin has any of those. Also, it is not a big deal, but in seeing @crazyb0's response, please consider being a little more descriptive with your initial posts. Being more specific with your question or concerns can be pretty useful. Just my Two Cents and now I will get off of my soapbox.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/23/2018 10:01 pm It's clearly a chemical reaction to some unknown environmental exposure (ED). Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 04/23/2018 10:14 pm @ Spence I guess it was pvc slime I am talking about. It's the stuff you see (on mostly early 90s cents) that is generally a green circle in the middle of the coin. I know that adds no value to the coin but didn't know the proper terminology. Long story short I didn't want to write a long post explaining what I thought it could be. Next time Report this Post to the Staff
