uncle al Valued Member Canada 311 Posts	Posted 10/04/2010 02:57 am Thats the strange thing about this penny, there are good outlines. If it was acid washed, would the outside edges of the leaves of the reverse and the lettering on the obverse be worn down also? The lettering, the leaf tips and the other words have sharp edges, so if it was acid washed, all the sharp edges would have been washed away. I will have a better pic tomorrow or Tuesday, I have just been handed a better camera and can load a better picture. Bryan, I cannot seem to access the Forum email system,but these pics should be better when I can get them loaded. Thank you for your assistance. Report this Post to the Staff

uncle al Valued Member Canada 311 Posts	Posted 10/04/2010 6:36 pm Now in this detail, it could be considered washed out, but there are still some high points that I would have thought the acid would have taken away. Report this Post to the Staff

Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 10/25/2010 11:05 am The coin looks acid-dipped to me too. Not anything like an authentic thin planchet error. Here's some more acid-dipped cents: Report this Post to the Staff
uncle al Valued Member Canada 311 Posts	Posted 10/25/2010 11:38 am Thank you Scissel, I have never run into this type of coin in my sixty years of living and 52 of them collecting coins and stamps. I am curious as to the type of acid used, and the length of time approx. used to dip them. Interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 10/25/2010 1:26 pm Reverse-engineering fake errors can be a hobby in itself! I'm not sure what type of acid is used. I've heard Coke will eat away cents - probably that would take a very long time. Coin dip would be stronger. Report this Post to the Staff
