"Saying that it was a piece of scrap metal that got dropped in the hopper and went through the stamping process" but you guys just basically say "No such thing" instead of maybe telling him that such a thing does exist, but the name is a little different.

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 12:41 pm I'm with the majority: acid. I have found acid treated coins CRHing before and just one of the many science experiments you'll see from time-to-time. RE: beach finds, the damage I have seen is different. Pitted and crusty is how I'd describe my 'ancient' finds (oldest, 1909 LWC). Always worth posting here though to be sure. And even the experienced folks will be stymied once in a while.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 12:56 pm An ocean bath for a length of time would have turned the cent green. Your coin couldn't have been there for any length of time. Report this Post to the Staff
