I think I came from a bag that had whole bunch of coin that had that red and green toning/damage that is visible on the reverse, they were all hideous in my opinion. However on this one is not as bad and when I went to spend it today, I noticed the obverse seems to have exposed copper. The portion by "trust" is definitely indented but doesn't seem polished to me. Did someone just sand away the surface? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74233 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 6:25 pm Not a flaw, just damage. Post Strike Damage ( PSD). It's a good thing you spent it, since it's only worth face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 6:41 pm I'm thinking just unusual toning from environmental exposure. Are any of the discolored areas on the obverse higher to the touch than adjoining areas? Report this Post to the Staff

Hard to say, but I don't think so because they would have likely removed some of the second T in TRUST too.

Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 8:35 pm @GC43, maybe some fire damage with the scale removed in some places. Can you get us an accurate weight please?

Can you get us an accurate weight please? 22.8 g I don't think it's fire damage, there's no bubbling, it's not black, and doesn't have the same feel, though I have no idea what it would look like if they somehow removed the black layer.
