Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 03/31/2015 01:44 am Your pictures are a little blurry, but it looks like the coin was placed in an acid bath to clean it. The acid attacked the copper core showing on the edge first, resulting in the groove on the edge. That was done after it left the mint, so no added value, sorry Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/31/2015 1:21 pm I lean toward Waxemm's thinking - a "pure" acid encounter should erase details on the devices as well. I wouldn't think the extra nickel in the cladding would matter much aside the relatively weak in-ground acids. Report this Post to the Staff
