[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 4576207, member: 5233"]It looks like a coin that had one side painted silver and the painter was careless and got some on the rim in an irregular pattern. I don't think this coin was placed in a shallow dip because if it were there would be a straight line of color change...because the liquid's surface would not be jagged. I also disagree with the theory that it was in an album of some kind and was polished for the same reason. The coin's rim would have much more linear pattern and wouldn't be jagged. I suspect this coin was in some kind of jewelry bezel where the rim was covered in an irregular pattern around the edge.
