    The mint goo (metal,grease,debris) did a number on this die.
    From 20 to 0.

    It's neat to see the progression! Did you only find these two or did you stumble across more?

    Both these came out of Georgia.
    Earlier state came out of Coolidge,GA
    and the later example came out of Martinez,GA.

    How interesting. If you just had the second one you wouldn't know whether it was a 2010 or 2020. The first one says the second one is a 2020.

    I believe one could 2010s unc in a roll or stored the luster is very different from that of unc 2020. The older the date I’ve noticed the darker the copper will look luster wise.
    But maybe not if stored properly.
    Or it could just be a coin that don’t get that affect overtime.

    Best way to tell is to look at the VDB as well. Most 2010s the VDB is sharp and very uniform looking.
    On 2020 and other dates now it’s not as defined and sharp. It’ll also look more fatter and flow into the fields around it. While the 2010 didn’t do that.

    Fun finds. I would imagine that there are a few more stages.
    I wish I lived on the east coast just to be able to find Philly coins in change.

    Can't say much about the Philly's. But Denver was still dealing with a few plating issues in 2010.
