Crystallization can occur from coins being overly exposed to acidic or highly mineralized soil, or in the case of archaic-era pieces, buried at great depths. Their stories are just as rich and affecting as their better-preserved brethren. The weight of porous or crystallized coins averages around a 10% loss of the original weight as minted .
Estimated Value $350 - 450.
