<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 173531, member: 6763&quot;]coinic:</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I believe that the original cause of the streaking was due to improper mix of the alloys in the preparation of the metal prior to the creation of the strips for the coin blanks.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The blue color is unusual but seems to be in line with the direction of the &#039;normal&#039; streaks that are found with improper alloy mix. I don&#039;t see evidence of cleaning, but it may be there, however, cleaning normally wouldn&#039;t turn the coin blue, especially in stripes.</p><p>&nbsp; I assume that this is only on the obverse, since you did not show the reverse, then that would be very unusual.</p><p>&nbsp;Please show a photo of the reverse.</p><p>&nbsp; The Other Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
