Interesting colors.. The reason it looks like that is due to Environmental Damage.
Somehow the elements affected it.. Or someone colored it and figured out how to keep the raised areas from turning black..
It surely was not minted that way.

I'm not sure what to say.

 

That’s the new trueview? It was most likely in a fountain or buried along the way then returned to circulation which polished off the devices.

 

It could have also traveled through a dogs digestive system several times.

 

see it does look to be minted that way by the way the words are some there some letter I some words not there. and it is missing the l in liberty
