    A close up of the reeding for further context. It seems like a botched attempt at plating it, the smooth surfaces definitely look like tarnished silver and they're capped on the edge with this discoloration. The rest definitely looks like acid damage which is also a totally awesome band name.

    reminds me of this "silver" new hampshire state quarter I found, some poor grandma probably paid 19.95 for it plus shipping and handling from a late night tv shopping network

    I'm fairly new to coin searching, I found this half dollar with a rough texture and a few patches of smooth surface. The pictures don't really show it very well but the smooth surfaces have that bluish-gray, tarnished silver look. Can anybody give me some insight on what's going on with this coin? thanks!

    Awesome information, I appreciate you taking the time to explain all this. Like I said, I'm new to this and it's amazing that there's somebody willing to take the time to help me learn. You're awesome and thank you. I did find a war nickel and eight Wheaties today at least

    I'm still pretty new to this, my apologies. I'm just confused as to why the rim seems to be fully intact with a few dings and "IN GOD WE TRUST" is completely nonexistent, and why is there no zinc showing? With this degree of wear, I'd expect to see zinc exposed. Also, on the reverse of the coin, the low areas are more worn than the high points, I'm genuinely confused as to how this happens.

    I thought it was just wear damage at first, but the Lincoln memorial is still pretty well defined and the rims show no sign of wear. 1988 pennies are also zinc, so I would expect to see the zinc showing through, not to mention the luster is pretty clean and it barely has a scratch on it. Did i actually find something cool?
