<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 3631731, member: 59737&quot;]Sir, I remember this coin, and the answer is STILL the same.&nbsp; Your coin has been heat treated and damaged after the mint.&nbsp; That&#039;s why it has that weird coloring on it.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had tons of coins come through my hands that were exposed to extreme heat and that discoloration is the most obvious sign.&nbsp; It was exposed to the heat long enough to cause the gas to expand inside, without melting the clad on the outside.&nbsp; That&#039;s why there&#039;s no damage, because the ENTIRE coin was exposed to the same amount of heat, instead of it being poked by a hot rod or something.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t believe me, (safely) experiment with putting clad coins near high heat without letting them melt.&nbsp; Edit: your coin shows zero mint luster, because the coin did not leave the mint looking like that.&nbsp; Do you see the coin I posted above?&nbsp; Notice how it&#039;s UNC but has the bubbles?&nbsp; The coloring on your coin is the biggest tell that it was heat treated after the mint.&nbsp; I&#039;m sorry you don&#039;t like the answer, but that is the answer nonetheless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
