l.cutler Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Welcome to the forum. It is just a normal zinc cent that has corroded badly. I don't know if your vinegar had anything to do with it, but it can be very damaging to coins and is not a good idea.

Nannerz Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Also thank you for the welcome. I just want to make sure I fully understand these things . The other pennies were corroded zinc looking and they came out fine.

RWB Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Vinegar contains acetic acid. Coins of zinc and copper do not like acetic acid. Next time, use the vinegar for dipping your dinner salad and not your coins. Sharann and l.cutler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post J P M Posted March 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I am new here also Nannerz and I can say the members here are the best you will find anywhere. The help is 10 fold they give. Yes there is joking and puns but it is not meant to be disrespectful it is a light hearted learning experience. I think down the road a bit you will look back and enjoy your time here.

If the item pictured is valuable to you why didn't you take advantage of your ehem, 150 bucks and have it evaluated and slabbed by the pros. Second: Why not try another TPG board since you seem not to like this one. C'mon ATS with your picture of your 'treasure'; I'm sure we will be a lot nicer.

When I signed up and spent 150 bucks and asked for honest opinions I expected someone to be able to give their thoughts without being a smart . I expect some professionalism from people and not jokes. It's not easy to ask about a coin your unsure about and last thing I need to hear is about dipping my salad in it. This subscription is cancelled and you need to rethink how you post to new users who are just looking for help. Did you even think the vinegar was not even hit and the dissolving rate of aluminum to zinc or copper. So you need to just say something respectfully cause I dont join things looking for someone to be wise and crack jokes. You've got some thinking to do. You make NGC look like a joke yet I know you dont represent them but who wants to be talked down to by a so called "helpful volunteer" Nannerz......if you are new here, you may not know that many individuals here have their own "unique" way of responding. In RWB's case, that often includes jokes, sarcasm, and humour. There is nothing negative, implied or otherwise, in his or others posts. If you're new here, you need to develop a thick skin between the jokes and serious debate that will often ensue. That said, you will not find better professionals than at these Forums. In the case of RWB, you have one of the most knowledgeable numismatic researchers, prolific authors, and scholars at your ready. Aside from some great articles and wonderful books, you'll learn alot from the back-and-forth. The thread on his SAINT-GAUDENS DOUBLE EAGLE book is worth as much information as most books or hundreds of hours of reading will provide. RWB was a most generous and critical contributor to the thread on the best book on Saints ever written -- one written by him.

Your description indicated that a lighthearted response would be better than harshly reminding you of the obvious. Clearly not useful in your circumstances. When posters add a little emoji, it is often intended to show the direction of a comment. A suspicion is that your response would have been similar if someone had been brutally clear. Members have no role in who does or does not choose to post. Plus, you do not have to pay to post -- you can signup for free. The primary benefits of NGC membership - including complimentary grading and submission privileges - are what you paid for. In any event, it is hoped you will continue to post questions and give the members a chance to respond to you and help you learn. I will avoid posting so you don't feel threatened.
