NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18011 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 08:36 am Hello Bama778 and This looks to me like a typical example of a coin that's suffering from environmental damage, probably after having been buried in the ground or lying on a beach for a few years. Ask any metal detector owner and they will tell you that they find dozens of cupro-nickel coins that look just like this. I usually rub my 'beach coins' in the wet sand between my thumb and forefinger to get them back into spendable condition!

Spence Moderator United States 34441 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 10:04 am @bama, the weight should be 2.27 g if the planchet has all the layers--this one seems to be within spec.
