<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 313728, member: 2972&quot;]People have been cleaning coins as long as they have been collecting them, and probably even before.</p><p><br /></p><p>After looking at this coin and the two other coins you posted, I think it is likely that this coin was cleaned, and has since started corroding.&nbsp; The buffalo and the dime both look to be corroded also (some people might call it dark or black or even the now-hip term &quot;Circ Cam&quot; toning, but to me it is corrosion because it has eaten into the surface of the coin).&nbsp; Please understand I don&#039;t say this to be mean, but it is my honest opinion.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>FWIW, coins stored in areas that have large temperature and humidity swings (like an attic or a garage) often have this happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Respectfully and regretfully yours...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
