<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IQless1, post: 1165485, member: 30689&quot;]I can think of two additional possibilities, but neither are very strong. One is that the dies (or coins) were greasy, or wet in some way. the other is more of an observation. It looks like there is evidence of pitting which could indicate a contaminated alloy, a corrosive agent, or both. The pattern on the obverse really screams grease though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
