Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 12/01/2011 6:29 pm I find tons of dimes like this but never found any halfs or even quarters like it yet. Forgot exactly why it happens but there are a few reasons. Someone will chime in and refresh my memory (or lack of) shortly. Report this Post to the Staff

unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 12/02/2011 09:35 am I have seen some like that. Jewlers cut the rim so they can mount it on a necklace or other piece of jewelry Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/03/2011 12:23 pm Captainwiffo has the most accurate answer. Environmental damage caused this. It likely was exposed to something acidic, but it was likely not purposefully done. Coins sit in the ground or in car floorboards and get eaten away by moisture and whatever else happens to be in the area. Coke and other soft drinks are also very corrosive to copper based coins. While it is possible that a purposeful acid bath could have caused this, there are far more possibilities that leave a conclusion of a purposeful bath as premature. Report this Post to the Staff
