<p>[QUOTE="Skyman, post: 7945924, member: 28299"]No one is really sure what causes it. It's definitely NOT storage, as it occurs on only one side of a coin, and occurs only at the Philly mint... notice how your Franklin is a P mint. The theory that makes the most sense to me is that it occurs during the rolling of the sheet of silver the planchets are stamped out of. Even for 1960 silver coins, which is by FAR the most common date for this occurrence, it's still not particularly common. Here's a 1959 which is, before your 1963, the only other date I've seen with this condition/toning pattern, and 1959's are significantly less likely than 1960's to exhibit this condition/toning pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1376051[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1376052[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
