<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 25244504, member: 24314"]Your coin has been cleaned. This covers light cleaning up to harsh cleaning. Anytime anything is moved across a coin's surface that is not a liquid, the thing that abrades the surface cannot get into the area where the relief (raised parts) meets the flat field. This causes the color difference you are seeing around the relief. We call it the "halo effect."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
