<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 1226389, member: 31286&quot;]From a distance, the depressed areas in the hair look like they have a white deposit in them, but with magnification you can see that it&#039;s very light pitting (that&#039;s what I would call it anyway).&nbsp; The details of this coin are really good, but something got to those crevaces.&nbsp; It does have, in some places, the remains of a very gritty grime, the sort of thing you might find at the bottom of a machinists toolbox.&nbsp; Where that grit has been removed the coin is shiny (around the stars and letters), but the rest of the obverse is toned.&nbsp; The reverse has some of the same characteristics, but not as much so.&nbsp;&nbsp; Seen this before?&nbsp; What causes it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
