Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 06/14/2022 10:59 am I agree with @ijn that this looks more like chemical/environmental exposure. Also, welcome to CCF.

Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 06/14/2022 11:05 am Thanks for the welcome and the info. The only reason I question it is because the rim is not discolored and there's a pretty sharp line dividing them. But yall know more than me so I'll take your word for it. Should I leave the post or delete it? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/14/2022 11:23 am The coin may have been in a cup holder, face down and gotten into coffee or a soda that altered just the area of a small spill in the holder. (The stain affects the plated coins more, so it is probably because of change put in there that is why we see it more often. In the past, we didn't have cup holders.So we won't go into a discussion on how they kept our drinks safe. (The handed drivers without seat belts pretty much sums it up) Thus the term, "Don't Drink and drive." (Also the Answer was: "Cause you might spill your drink!") Report this Post to the Staff
