<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jallengomez, post: 703228, member: 19748&quot;]Thanks for all the comments folks.&nbsp; I&#039;ll try to answer some of the questions.&nbsp; First, it&#039;s not something added to the coin.&nbsp; It&#039;s not raised, but rather obviously missing that area.&nbsp; You can see the edges of the copper plating.&nbsp; As for discoloration, I found this in about a 5 gallon jar of pennies that a relative had been saving for several years, and this coin came from near the bottom of the container, so it&#039;s been out of circulation for years.&nbsp; Unfortunately I shoot with a DSLR and don&#039;t have a macro lens yet, so I can&#039;t really get a better photo.&nbsp; I went into photoshop and cropped it tighter around the area in question, so I hope this helps.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn311/jag68007/2001crop.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
