<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 7995801, member: 17261&quot;]The obverse was corroded long ago, you can see the pits in the fields, but has toned over pretty well. The corrosion was removed and it retoned - the brown patina was replaced with oxidized copper + various gunk to make that color.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a good learning coin. When you see a deep brown patina like that on one side, it should look the same on the other side. For this coin, you can still see traces of the original patina on the obverse but the corrosion affected it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
