DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 06/06/2024 08:14 am Dirt coin post Acetone. I'm inclined to think the black staining would details it - thoughts? Assumption is fire damage as it was pulled from an area that saw a major fire around the time frame. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18645 Posts	Posted 06/06/2024 3:50 pm DOCC looks like this one could have been a dug coin or improperly stored. the darker areas on both sides were probably on the entire coin or most of it and some type of cleaning took place. some of the areas that remain darker could not be removed and the edges of those areas are faded. not sure if that makes sense. I am not saying the coin was harshly cleaned just that it would pull the designation for either cleaned or PMD Report this Post to the Staff
