[QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 716622, member: 19456"]Based on the area by Liberty on the obverse I am going to guess that the coin came into contact with some reactive foreign object which caused it to tone dramatically. I get a lot of them in change/rolls. Most of them feel dirty, because they are. I don't save them. Some of them still have whatever nasty stuff was on there still on it, and it will leave you hands shiny or sticky. Ocasionally you will find one that toned without being in contact with something else..those I put aside even though I am not a toning fan...somebody out there must want them somewhere, some day.[/QUOTE]
