<p>[QUOTE="montynj3417, post: 3379643, member: 89220"]Appears to have rested on or against a piece of cloth; possibly impregnated with some mildly acidic residue over a period of time. Do both sides of this coin show this lightly-etched appearance? In metal detecting, one comes across all kinds of weird environmental blemishes; typically just on one side of the coin. One common type of marking is when you unearth a "pocket drop" and the coins are somewhat corroded/discoloured, but brighter and even shiny where they have lain, stacked on top of each other; so one side of your quarter is brown all over and the other side has a dime-sized bright spot from the coin that was lying against it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
