<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 4562792, member: 24314"]Check out the inside rim at 1 o'clock. Sometimes, when a coin is struck, a thin layer of metal is smashed down next to the rim. It is the same color as the coin. Now look at the other parts of the rim where what looks like a "rounded residue" of a different color is present. I believe something will dissolve it away. If it is a deposit of some kind, I could remove it very easily but I need to be careful giving advice how to do it so the coin is not damaged. Gently push down on the off color area with your fingernail. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
