[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4894972, member: 105098"]this is toning, the two sides are different because one was up while the other was down for a long period of time. There were all kinds of cardboard "state quarters" maps for people to fill the holes in on, this is what the coins would look like when they are popped out of the boards and cashed in 15 +years later in the cheaper, non-archival quality map boards. heads side grey in full contact with the cheap cardboard. Tails side rimmed or more of the surface on that side with goldish toning creeping from the edge contact with the cardboard hole, and slower toned than the heads side that had it's own little closed environment of cheap cardboard.[/QUOTE]
