Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 07:56 am I'm going to say texas penny. Is your coin larger than a normal cent. Here is a link to a conversation about texas pennies https://goccf.com/t/216119 Report this Post to the Staff
1966ddr Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 5:44 pm No it's just a normal size coin. If acid washed or acid burn; wouldn't that damage the surface of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 8:37 pm I think the plating is still there, just blackened. You can see on the rim a few spots that are brown colored. The darkened area maybe wearing down on some high spots. If you carried this coin in your pocket for a time, you might see the higher spots turn brown. I would carry it in your pocket and take weekly images of it to see if it progresses? Report this Post to the Staff
