This is one I would put into a 2x2. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 04/12/2023 7:18 pm @ros, first welcome to CCF. Second, yes I see what you are talking about. It is vaguely portrait-like surface staining plus Pareidolia.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21635 Posts	Posted 04/12/2023 8:17 pm to the CCF A combination of staining and corrosion. Sort of impossible to have an Indian Head on the Cent unless it was done intentionally. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 12:26 pm Green water contamination. Probably a cup holder coin. If it were a Indian head it would be raised on the field areas. Stains are not raised. Just a normal coin altered by it surroundings. Report this Post to the Staff
