Oh no! That's too bad about that coin being acid dipped. Still a very nice coin though, despite being dipped in acid.

This 1864-L is one of my earlier and favorite "Numismatic Nightmares".

here is another example I have shown before in a different thread initiated by Dorado
this hand made piece (200 years older than the Osella) was not only mounted but also gilded

German States: 1568 taler from Salentin of Isenburg, bisshop of Cologne

$ mounted in a clever (coin friendly) way into a contemporary setting
$ gilded by fire (the old method, using a mercury/gold paste painted on the coin, the mercury evaporates when the coin is heated)
$ the silver gilded ring plate around the coin has an inscription

much more vandalism in Cologne than in Venice

That skunk reminded me of my
Moose Lotto scratcher, with 1952-2002 cent.

Edit: Yes the cent has the P mark and is magnetic.
