<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 734174, member: 66&quot;]When they are BRAND NEW just out of the press it is not that unusual for the 40% coins to not show the separation on the edge clearly.&nbsp; That three layer appearance comes from the oxidation of the higher copper content of the center layer.&nbsp; If due to a lack of handling, and storage under the&nbsp; proper conditions the oxidation does not take place the edge will retain the silver appearance.&nbsp; And of course it is always possible for the outer 80% silver layers to get smeared down over the 20% silver layer during the blanking process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
