fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3632 Posts	Posted 07/27/2025 9:14 pm This looks like it could be PVC damage. It usually has a milky appearance with greenish tint, and I think I see that here. There are others on CCF who have a lot more experience with PVC issues than I do, and they may weigh in on this coin. I think the underlying grade would be in the AU range, but if this is PVC damage, it would be considered environmental damage. It details many coins.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18649 Posts	Posted 07/30/2025 4:17 pm i;m going to echo FC regarding possible PVC damage. this is one I would give an acetone bath to see the results.I'm seeing more wear on the higher parts of the devices that would pull an XF grade so I'm at VF35 possible details, post it if you give it a dip.
