<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 2307181, member: 59737&quot;]It very well could be lamination, but the discoloration makes me wonder why half of it is one way and the other half another.&nbsp; It makes me think that the change happened long after it was struck and perhaps the coin looked entirely like the &quot;dirty&quot; side was and then down the road something changed on the other half and cleaned it up.&nbsp; Acid would be my best guess.&nbsp; It&#039;d still preserve the way the coin looked but reduce the amount of metal on the coin.&nbsp; I have a coin that it reminds me of that I&#039;ve shown recently but will repost for good measure.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]464441[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]464442[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]464443[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]464444[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
