Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 08/07/2022 01:08 am @scra, just to be clear, are you talking about that crease on the rev that goes from EPU into Monticello or the overall surface color/texture?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/07/2022 11:25 am I agree. It looks like an altered coin that says 198o-P instead of 1986-P. Looks like it might be a bit lighter than the 5 grams. If so it may have had a low acid bath from a possible soda drink for a short time. Thus etching the face of the coin. Just a face value coin now. Report this Post to the Staff
