Yellzaboff Valued Member United States 189 Posts	Posted 01/05/2019 11:57 pm Hey group, I'm asking for help identifing the cause of the Damage done to the clad layer. From what I've read and learned about clad errors, this obviously is not one. I'm keeping the coin and wanted to correctly label the flip. Keeping for example, Thanks guys Report this Post to the Staff

A ground find would be smoother and more brown from nickel leaching, but this looks like a more aggressive chemical attack evidenced by pitting. Nitric acid maybe? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/06/2019 07:27 am It could. The coin was probably dark and they wanted to light up the surface. Best thing to do is to spend them to keep wasting time on a face value coin. Move on to the next coin. Report this Post to the Staff
