    What kind of box and what was the environment that box was kept in?

    Strange pattern, though. Wonder what could have caused it.

    Roughly 3.6 million things from contact with foreign objects to foreign substances on the surface as well as possibly rolling stress.

    Imperfections in the alloy, rolled flat in the planchet rolling press. Same thing as woodgrain on cents.

    ...which means no additional value outside of melt, You?

    I’m not You but you knew that. 😉
    Regardless of what caused the discoloration, the coin has no extra value over melt.
