In 2119, the beneficiaries of your estate will have the only examples in existence. They will be rich. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/07/2019 4:53 pm It looks like it is actively corroding. It may have an acidic or caustic agent eating away at the coin. You may want to rinse it in distilled water to help stop the progression and keep it away from any coin that are valuable so that they won't corrode.
