Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 3:30 pm Looks to have been a plated coin and the plating is wearing off - especially on the high points Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 3:34 pm Rothery has the point. To day in hobby store you can buy silver, gold, copper, brass, etc. plating cold solution for temporary hobby things. It is like a paint and many play with. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 6:15 pm I agree with Rothery, this may have been a plated coin that the plating is wearing off. Now, environmental damage and/or wear is causing the under surface to show through. Regardless, it's post mint damage ( PMD). Report this Post to the Staff
