Hi guys, Just found this coin in the wild. and "WILD" it most certainly is! Check out the Mosaic-like toning. For a coin to only be barely two years of age, what color and shapes? Pretty cool I think, anyway?



Amazing! If this quarter is not done wrongly, what an artist God truly is!
The thing is, only one side is effected. The Obverse looks normal?

    It looks like it may have had something spill on it and then dry. Alternatively, I have seen coins that have had tape placed against them and the tape removed that have had a similar pattern on them as this piece.

    What's amazing is that only the fields are toned (somewhat) <3

    That is definitely a residue of some type and not tarnish... I am reasonably certain that acetone would quickly remove it.... Joey, I know you like it, and will keep it.... that is fine. Just keep it away from acetone or it will just be a bright and shiny coin. Cheers, RickO
