<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 7893632, member: 118540&quot;]Hello [USER=112852]@Nathan B.[/USER] I agree with [USER=111387]@Herodotus[/USER] , that it looks like some of the original surface and tone have become delaminated. Meaning that, some of the original surface, which has a nice tone, has fallen off, exposing the underlying, granular material. The underlying material is granular, perhaps because the original material was a mixture of silver and copper, and the copper may have gradually dissolved/leached away, over the past thousands of years. The leaching of the copper, may have weakened the material, leading to some of the original surface falling off (delamination). I&#039;m no expert. This is just my best guess or theory. There are CoinTalkers, who know way more about this sort of thing, than I do. Hopefully, they will correct me, if I&#039;m incorrect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
