Just looks like random environmental damage

 

I would tend to agree but there this doesnt look like environmental but I am not a pro.

 

It's called circulation.

Maybe I need to get better lighting....it is a pure pewter colored quarter all the way around. Very cool looking.

 

i see batman and runner ducks

 

.....okay okay!!

 

Underlying circumstances could discolor a quarter, and I proved it. Even the acid in a BUTTERFINGER candy bar, if left a chunk of chocolate on the surface of a brand new Quarter, over a period of 25 years discolors it to a "Butterfinger Bronze color". Other things besides acids are heat. Carburizing flame can blacken a quarter (permenantly).

 

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

The MS-64 1990-P quarters I had appraised, and also slabbed through my membership at PCGS, are the same as the one I sample/tried this trick. The coin is still MS-64 1990-P, but with the same color of chocolate (I named Butterfinger Bronze). If you'd like to see, it only stained the surface permanently, but not damaged it.
"Ask if you want to see it, or up close photos of it". I have some 25X powered microscope photos around here somewhere of it.

 

Shoot, I'll bite.
Let's see this coin.
(please start a new thread, don't hi-jack this one)
