    This Roman coin looks to have some environmental damage....
    Do solid silver coins sometimes peel an outer skin type layer
    with certain types of environmental damage???
    Below are some close up attachments of what I'm seeing, is this
    natural??

    It looks like it might be a fourrée.

    Agreed, looks like a base metal core.
