<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2525714, member: 76739&quot;]That&#039;s exactly what I was saying. In the foundry process as far as I discovered each type of metal has its own properties and refining process. And occasionally the scooper doesn&#039;t get all the impurities off the top of those soup. So what little impurities that&#039;s a scooper left gets poured into the final sheet. This is a long way of saying it&#039;s just crappy metal. All I basically know about this coin that I&#039;m showing, I received it in really bad shape. You basically could not even tell it was a coin. And since I have found coins that have been buried in the dirt this object had resembled that. But to a little more extreme. I have found working across the country, different soils have different properties. And different acidity levels. That&#039;s why one coin found on the East Coast in the dirt will not resemble a coin found on the West Coast will to say they were both buried about the same time. But they will not look the same at least the ones I have found with a metal detector.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a lot of alloyed damage coins, maybe I ought to start a thread. My only problem with that my camera does not get the proper image of the damage. I need a lot more expensive set up. Were this old Redneck needs to sit down, take a bite of some fresh Redman, and contemplate the situation. Soon as I have this problem licked, I may start a thread.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackalien:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> PS The more I look at the ops coin. The more I see some kind of a chemical inner action with the copper. And maybe one side is affected more than the other is because the reverse was subject to more of the chemical. Take a close look at the way it looks on the reverse. Some areas not exposed but three quarters of it was exposed. Just my observation[ATTACH=full]539068[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
