<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USCoinCollector42, post: 3067968, member: 75732&quot;]This isn’t a mint error. There have been hundreds of threads on here asking about black or brown coins. Ever heard of a stain? Or a chemical reaction? Coins are used to buy things and are exposed to all sorts of things throughout their lifetime.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here’s a picture of some coins found metal detecting. Minerals in the dirt will degrade the outer layer of the coin if it is buried long enough, thus giving it a brown or black surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]770508[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins like yours are super common and are often confused with real mint errors.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]770509[/ATTACH]</p><p>(These images aren’t mine and are only here for educational purposes don’t sue me please lol)</p><p><br /></p><p>I can’t tell you for sure since you didn’t post a picture, but if your coin looks exactly like the op’s, then I’m fairly certain it’s just environmental damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and next time please post your own thread. You’re piggybacking on a thread posted 4 years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
