<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 109003, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>A larger image of the obverse would be helpful.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen many coins that look like this but the causes can vary.&nbsp; A chemical could have reacted to the surface of the coin, thus cleaning it.&nbsp; Also, things like laquer or adhesive can get onto a coin changing the way a coin tones. </p><p>If for example, many years ago, the obverse of the coin was in a folder and the original owner of the coin &quot;scotch taped&quot; the coin into the folder, it would fit the look of this coin.&nbsp; The reverse is not worn or covered with whatever this is and the obverse is only partly affected by whatever that material is. Often it is the residue from the glue used on clear tape.</p><p>I Hope this helps,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
