    Yes, it's an optical illusion. You stare hard enough at these you'll see Christ. :)

    The coin has a lot of environmental damage...and I think it's just a coincidence of how the damage has formed.

    I think you got it right. Just coincidental enviro damage- an optical illusion. Many's the time I've seen "phantoms" on some of my more porous detector finds.
