TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 11:53 am I know my images don't do it justice but the color is wrong on this coin. The weight is not far off. 3.13 g. Any thoughts. Just an anomaly? Report this Post to the Staff

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 11:56 am A lot of off color coins are the result of cleaning them with chemicals. I've found many wheats like that. Weigh and the look of the coin suggest to me it is normal coin. Report this Post to the Staff
