Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/19/2025 8:06 pm Yikes that surface is very porous. Maybe it spent some time in a corrosive environment. What is the weight and can you please add a picture of the edge? Thx.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 02/19/2025 8:52 pm I'm thinking a weak acid exposure eroded the surfaces. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7509 Posts	Posted 02/19/2025 9:37 pm The coin being slightly over weight (if the scale is calibrated and reading correctly) points to the excess build up due to interaction of the metal with the corrossive environment as stated above although it looks cleaned it could have been a burried coin at one time.
