<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 3155772, member: 73983"]It feels like it was a metal detecting find. It looks like it had been in the ground and dug up. The surfaces were corroded, so the digger cleaned it up and carried it as a pocket piece as a reminder of his find. Carrying it in the pocket would explain the recoloring and the wearing down of the rims and high points. I bet the coin was lost not long after it was first struck, it might have been UNC or possible AU details when it was recovered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
