spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/01/2018 03:12 am I don't think it's any error. It looks like environmental damage to me (staining).

wrongnumber Pillar of the Community United States 559 Posts	Posted 10/01/2018 09:06 am I guess my question is, is this some kind of bad alloy mix. I understand the mottled patterning but a decent amount of the coin is copper colored. You saying sitting in soda did this? Obviously it's had some circulation, but eaten away by chemicals would still leave that much detail? It's almost full steps lol. I'll try some more shots later when home.
