unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 08/08/2011 12:59 am Many if not most of my metal detecting finds at the ocean beach look just like that if they have been exposed to wet salty sand for a while, also playground finds in woods chip mulch look like that too.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/08/2011 2:57 pm A coin missing both clad layers will have profound strike weakness due to being thinner than normal. This coin is just discolored from environmental exposure. Report this Post to the Staff
