zdcoin_404 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/10/2024 7:06 pm Pulled this Benjamin right out of its original proof packaging. It has this weird black mark in the center of a toned circle. The little black line almost looks ashy as if it was burned. The packaging looked untouched. Any thoughts as to what caused it? Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10515 Posts	Posted 02/10/2024 7:12 pm Looks like some kind of contaminant that leached outwards onto/into the metal. I'm sure there is no way to remove it without ruining the proof surface. That's too bad as it looks to be a very nice Proof Franklin otherwise. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 02/12/2024 4:21 pm to the CCF Whatever it is , it started out as the dark area in the middle of the spot and grew from there. QC was not even a thing back then. And as stated above, it's permanent. Report this Post to the Staff
