[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2889502, member: 10461"]Yes, it looks like heat-induced toning to me. Except for the darkish patch behind FDR's head, it's not unattractive, though it's not really worth anything. I agree that you should crimp those staples flat. Get a pair of pliers and do that, if not for the sake of this coin (it's a 10-cent item), but any others that might come in contact with that holder and those staples. I use a flat-clinch stapler, but if you don't have one, always make sure you use pliers to crimp the staples in your holders completely flat, or you may regret it one day. Staple scratches are really tragic.[/QUOTE]
