Fixguy Pillar of the Community Canada 532 Posts	Posted 10/26/2014 09:25 am Several months back I purchased a 1959 penny on ebay that weighs 1.5 G and is as shown. I saw one price on ebay for the same coin and it's crazy so I'm asking the community for info. I paid roughly 27 dollars for it and I'm wondering if anyone else has one or if I paid more than it's value. Sorry about picture quality. I'll post more if requested with my better camera.

Fixguy Pillar of the Community Canada 532 Posts	Posted 10/26/2014 5:36 pm Sorry I had to step out. I don't think it's been treated with acid but to each his own. Hope these pictures help. Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5413 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 12:29 am Go to coingalaxy.com or check acid treated coin pictures in a google search. The education you will receive will more than offset the dough you were relieved of, purchasing your ALTERED coin. You do not have to take my word for it but your cent is NOT LEGIT!! Sorry! Numismatic education is sometimes rather expensive!! Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2526 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 12:51 am Definitely an acid shrunk coin. The reduced diameter, porous fields and the thinning of the letters are evidence. Report this Post to the Staff
