coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/07/2019 8:57 pm Well it is a secret we only know here. LOL Acid messes up a lot of coins. Note texture on the coin? Different types of acid had different affects on coins: Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 11/08/2019 12:52 am Another big error that is now part of this coin are fingerprints. While fingerprints are part of everyday handling of coins, any coin you think might be of special interest should be handled with cotton gloves. They are inexpensive and help insulate coins from the oils/acid in your skin. with the majour acid corrosion this dime has suffered for some other source. and to CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
