Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 06/27/2023 10:15 am That looks like uneven surface staining to me. Could be any sort of chemical or environmental exposure over the past 35 years.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97227 Posts	Posted 06/27/2023 2:04 pm I would agree with environmental toning here. Did you find all the quarters together in the same place? Collecting since 1972.
