Ray0000 New Member Canada 30 Posts	Posted 05/02/2020 4:40 pm Was wondering what is happening on this coin. I see a few die cracks but the letters look damaged. Is it a build up of dirt thru out the years or something else. Any info appreciated Thank you, Ray Report this Post to the Staff

coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 08/24/2020 03:14 am I think most of it is gunk/dirt/whatever on the token. Some of it appears interesting-but it really looks like dirt or something on the token, not corrosion, slightly different colour, different layers in some places. Report this Post to the Staff
