coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/04/2015 12:50 am If it is from an acid dip, the diameter should be less than normal and the copper rim affected. Report this Post to the Staff
blowingwind36 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 02/04/2015 8:01 pm I don't think it's been on fire. Coin has thin rim, it's not completely gone. There are some what seem like a ver small bump behind the head and what seems like a metal loss/ Cud on reverse exactly opposite of that bump. And long semi circular curve raised portion running in front of bust. Please see the images above. Having said that I could not be 100% certain about the diameter. I need to find a better way to take pictures, if I'm able to do so, I'll share them later. Report this Post to the Staff
