Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 07/01/2025 06:31 am @fir, since the weight is correct for this series, I am more inclined to believe that the dark coloration comes from environmental or chemical exposure rather than a missing clad layer. It looks to me like this coin was buried in the ground for a while.
