flippy Pillar of the Community Australia 1874 Posts	Posted 01/09/2014 07:27 am I found this 1946 D Silver Dime, It looks to be a Dryer Coin because of the cracks close to the edge of the rim, but it also has a rippled look like a coin that has been placed in acid. It also has a doubled look. I assume it is PMD but I want to make sure. It weighs 2.4g Report this Post to the Staff

Collector-Corner Pillar of the Community 872 Posts	Posted 01/09/2014 11:15 am I think Roosevelt has a case of caffiene withdrawal. You caught him in the middle of a nervous meltdown. Too bad. With this much damage done to the coin, it looked like to be of decent quailty and strike. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/09/2014 2:59 pm My thought is if it was heated to the point as we see it now the amount of heat required would have caused gas bubbles to form in the clad layers and maybe even warp the planchet neither of which I can see.That's why I think it's acid.
