<p>[QUOTE="YankeeDime, post: 7568308, member: 119919"]I know it's not an error, well, maybe an error in judgement but definitely not a mint error. So the story of this coin begins 6 months ago when a mechanic was changing the filters in the H2S scrubber and got a little curious. After seeing what 6 months of being exposed to a corrosive gas does to the metal parts of the filter he decided to see what would happen to a quarter. The cladding on the reverse is 99.99% gone, just some silver discoloration remaining. The obverse somewhat survived. There's heavy pitting and uneven surface corrosion. I was told the coin came out with a thick blue residue coating it which he cleaned off.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway I just thought it was interesting and wanted to share what coins exposed to corrosive environments could look like.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1305032[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
