paul Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 04/08/2010 9:22 pm I was searching through the hoard that I bought here on CC and I found this odd coin. The back looks fine, so I have no idea what happened to it. I found one from the 80s that looks similar. Any ideas? Edited by paul 04/08/2010 9:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

paul Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 04/08/2010 10:05 pm I'll post pics of the back later. I can't convey it in pictures, but the surface is wavy like a finger print, but embedded in the metal. The back is perfect, nearly FS. Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 04/08/2010 10:06 pm I was thinking it looks as if it was exposed to extreme high heat. Possibly a torch-like flame on the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
jedichef Pillar of the Community United States 781 Posts	Posted 04/08/2010 11:52 pm i have a penny that looks exactly like that. the general consensus was acid dipping, so I'm guessing you'll get a similar response to this one. Report this Post to the Staff
