Imagine the coin sitting in a really moist environment with something placed on top of it, slightly off center. Part of the coin becomes stained, the other part less so. These are not terribly uncommon. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97793 Posts	Posted 11/06/2021 10:34 am Yep, just a stain created by another Lincoln Cent coin (judging from the radius of the mark) and having a liquid spilled over them and left for a long period of time.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/06/2021 8:21 pm Looks like a cup holder coin that was left with a little brew on the coin and it stained the surface of the coin. Just a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 11/06/2021 9:36 pm I agree with all of the above. Chemical reaction most likely created in a cup holder with either coffee or some soft drink. Post mint damage. Value: 1 cent. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
