[QUOTE="Howard Black, post: 3535340, member: 97119"]I've heard that explanation and I'm sure this will annoy a lot of people, but I don't buy it. I'm speaking as someone who spent a major chunk of his life dealing with optics, and, on a macro scale, I've seen the effect duplicated by [I][B]visible[/B][/I] concentric rings. In any event, can we just agree to disagree on this? I'm mainly curious about this particular coin and don't want go get bogged down in minutia. I'm pretty sure we [I]can [/I]agree that regardless the cause, it [I]does[/I] wear away quite easily. As I've been sitting here wondering about this thing, it's occurred to me that if it was in fact plated, the plating would have needed to occur prior to striking (based on the surface appearance), which would seem (to me at least) to raise some curious implications. I'm sure there have over the years been quite a few undocumented experiments, and, we know that experimental strikes [I]do [/I]on occasion leak out into the wild. I would really like to know just what this thing is...[/QUOTE]
