kellyzhero11 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 09/08/2020 8:14 pm Is it artificial toning, or corrosion, or just natural causes. I don't know where I initially got it from but I recently found it in my collection and am curious as to yall's thoughts on what happened with this coin. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12478 Posts	Posted 09/09/2020 01:33 am It is definitely corroded, so it's a damaged coin, but the toning may be natural. It doesn't much matter, I suppose.
