<p>[QUOTE=&quot;raider34, post: 1324952, member: 16402&quot;]It&#039;s a little tricky to explain, but yes. The voids&nbsp; in color (that is the silver areas) are consistent with the signs of a&nbsp; cleaning. But, that&#039;s not to say that voids in color are always an&nbsp; indication of cleaning. </p><p><br /></p><p>Overall though, I believe the reddish&nbsp; brown color is environmental damage (a bad thing) as opposed to toning&nbsp; (not necessarily bad). The color on your coin appears rough and thick,&nbsp; which would indicate damage, as opposed to toning. Furthermore, the&nbsp; entire obverse appears grainy which is a sign the metal was damaged by&nbsp; something (possibly from sitting in dirt/soil).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
