Rdwarrior Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 10/29/2011 8:02 pm I am thinking maybe a coin that was soaked in acid, what is the diameter , should be 19.05mm Report this Post to the Staff

I'd suspect fire damage, or maybe someone having some fun with an oxy-acetylene torch. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 10/30/2011 06:34 am How could fire cause this.You could stack like 8 of these to make 1 normal penny. Report this Post to the Staff
VioletBerserker Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 10/30/2011 07:07 am Well see how it's like flattened on the obverse? My thoughts were it might've been heated up on like a metal table or soemthing and spread out thinner. What's the diameter? The rim's still there so I don't think it was acid. I thought it looked like fire damage because of how it's like crinkled on the bottom of the reverse as if it was fluid/molten. Report this Post to the Staff
VioletBerserker Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 10/30/2011 07:15 am But then again there are like holes eaten into it, so you never know it could've be acid and then fire! Report this Post to the Staff
