Sap Moderator Australia 16845 Posts	Posted 10/27/2022 12:07 am For some damaged coins, it can be impossible to know for certain exactly what caused the damage. In this case, it may have been something corrosive, or it may be fire damage. Or it might just be some kind of goo stuck there. It's a little hard to tell from that photo. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
