Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74556 Posts	Posted 06/23/2018 10:12 pm This isn't an error. This is called Environmental toning (Environmental Damage). It was outside in the environment. This is Post Strike Damage (happened after it left the U.S. Mint). Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/23/2018 10:16 pm Check the edge of the reed area. If the color is darker there than on the obverse and reverse, the color of silver will come back in circulation. If the cladding is really missing, the devices are usually weaker. Normal on outdoor finds. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 06/23/2018 10:18 pm can you get the weight? If it were missing the clad layer it should be slightly underweight. It was still fully struck too which leads me to believe its been permanently browned from the environment Report this Post to the Staff
mikem007 Valued Member United States 318 Posts	Posted 06/23/2018 10:25 pm Environmental toning or somebody painted it. Notice the color is already wearing off. I would have given it the sniff test to see if it smelled like motor oil... or perhaps it was filtered out from the local sewage plant. Just sayin. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 06/24/2018 08:15 am If it was a missing clad layer (which it's not) and you cleaned it you could have potentially thrown hundreds of dollars away. Don't clean coins. Look at the zillion topics covering acetone use, which is acceptable. Report this Post to the Staff
