5 złotych 1983 - Very strange surface
The surface of this coin is completely grainy with some visible striping (the camera doesn't show it well though). Is it damage or something else? It doesn't look cleaned.

Re: 5 złotych 1983 - Very strange surface
That would have been a good thing to put into the initial post so we could give an answer much quicker.
The side with the 5 on it, and it might just be the pics, seems to have a different coloring and seems not to have the pitting. My best GUESS is that these are pits from corrosion/environmental issues.

Re: 5 złotych 1983 - Very strange surface
The problem is I've never seen corrosion/environmental damage on these coins that looks like this (and I know them well). For the record, I'm not insisting that this is some valuable mint error (I'm sure this is some form of PMD) but just want to know what exactly could've caused this.
