Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 11/19/2013 12:11 am Different acids react differently Nitric acid will dissolve your coin in minutes. Its said that copper pennies where used to do this to reduce size and weight in order to be used in place of dimes in phone booths and parking meters or any other machines that would accept them..good ol days when a call or parking was just a dime. Thats why a lot of these pennies are from the 60s & 70s. Report this Post to the Staff

Marko0916 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/15/2014 10:14 pm i have found a 1959 usa penny that is very similar. I had 2 experts look at it, they both thought it was something else. The last opinion was that it was a rippled coin done outside the mint, which I personally disagree with. Report this Post to the Staff
