<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3155389, member: 19165&quot;]You were correct in assuming that this was some sort of damage. There two options here: either this queen was buried in the ground for a very long time and then cleaned when it was recovered, or this poor coin was subjected to some acidic treatment. I&#039;m inclined to believe, based on the color, that this coin was in the ground. Perhaps some collector found it and saved it. It is still fairly attractive, however damaged.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
