purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 01:52 am Trying to figure this one out, at first I was thinking Struck Through Grease, but now not sure. It is very round, the diameter is slightly smaller, but the coin is thicker and the rim is sharp, not worn. Came from a circulated bank box. Report this Post to the Staff

Bill in Burl Valued Member 197 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 2:50 pm My opinion is that it had an acid wash, plus it WAS 12 sided to start with and mechanically altered to round. That's just my opinion and not fact, but I've seen similar. Report this Post to the Staff
purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 4:19 pm Thanks, that sounds like it would make sense. Does acid flatten the dates? Would this be an accidental thing or does someone do it on purpose? Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 4:34 pm Looks like what we call a " Dryer Coin"... that coin was struck with a 12-sided collar.
