<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 8107616, member: 112&quot;]Your link doesn&#039;t say one way or the other, it just says iron. But if you have the coin in hand it should be a simple matter to look at it closely under a loupe and see if it was coated/plated and the coating chipped off. If it has, then you should be able to see the edges of where that coating chipped off.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can&#039;t see anything like that, then I don&#039;t know how to explain the differences in your pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>The before -</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1410451[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The after -</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/20211213_152419-jpg.1408872/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The black mark and rim ding is definitely there in the after and definitely not there in the before. So the coin being coated/plated, and that plating chipping off when it was dropped, is the only explanation that seems to make sense to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Could I be wrong ? Sure, but I don&#039;t know how else to explain what we see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
