It is in 3 different mass produced lab manuals. I am not saying this is what happens to yours, But the probability is higher than any other reason. The layer conforms closely to the coins surface if recent BU, and will vary due to the quantity of reactants, so as in the top example, some of the copper tends to show through. Several have noted on their own utubes of their experiment that they have sold them to their friends for $10-30. You might want to make some yourself for comparison before spending money on TPG grading. IMO. Jim[/QUOTE]
