The staining looks like silver tarnish but I’ve been fooled before.
Indeed it is. I'm not a hoarder...but please don't look under the desk.
That was a transition year I think. Silver?
Thanks for that update. I've been wondering about that for a long while now. I had gotten to the point that if I couldn't assign it to the...
Hoarding with a flair for the unique and interesting. :-)
I haven't seen blue like that. On the blast of white...wonderful contrast!! Nice coin!!
