nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 04/20/2022 12:40 pm if that green stuff can be moved with a toothpick. it's similar to what I've seen on fresh dimes recently, and I suspect it's green grease from the mint's press or from a machine where the coin was put in rolls Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/20/2022 3:04 pm Probably wet paper and green ink stained the coin. Spender. When the plating wears off, the green will also go away. Report this Post to the Staff
custodian2018 Pillar of the Community United States 545 Posts	Posted 04/21/2022 10:16 am the green stuff can't be move but it is staining the coins. the other mark is a rough surface on the coin which has a little depth to it. I don't think it could be environmental since they came out of a box of stringer pennies from PA thanks for the info now that they are not keeper but spenders thanks again Report this Post to the Staff

SaturnD51 Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 04/22/2022 9:36 pm I'm surprised it is on a newer date. Usually I used to see on coins I have stashed away or end up in rolls. Report this Post to the Staff
