Greenstang Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Agree It has been soaked in acid. Usually the rims are first to go. Not unusual, they sometimes did this as a High School experiment. JT2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldhair Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I agree with acid. Can't think of anything else that would create that look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Acid, but see Hoghead515's dryer coin thread for other damaged coins that many think are valuable. Edited October 10, 2023 by RWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleRJO Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 While it may look a little like a dryer coin with the mushy appearance, the significantly lower weight (3.5g vs. 5.0g spec) would suggest an acid that has eaten away some of the metal.
