    Contaminated by some sort of liquid ... perhaps by more than one type.

    I wonder if a dip would fix it. I’m thinking it is iffy.

    Toxic Waste Toning.

    At first I thought that that it might be the ugliest toning that I've ever seen, and it may indeed be, but somehow it intrigues me. Yes, it's unusual and I enjoyed seeing it and am wondering about the reverse, too. Thanks for showing it.

    I know this overplayed but can't help it. "Toxic waste effect"

    White chocolate mocha toning. Sure to bring a “Moose” price. :s

    No imperfections with mirrors that gleam through the delicate mocha toning at all angles. Opportunity knocks loudly…

    Looks like it resided in an unflushed public toilet for a number of years. Wear a hazmat suit if you plan on touching the coin.
