Let me know what you think. Report this Post to the Staff

Sleaklight Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 02/25/2008 8:53 pm It doesn't look like what a split before strike would look like so I am going to assume this one had a bad acid trip and it corroded down to that. Maybe? Report this Post to the Staff
bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 02/25/2008 8:58 pm That coin looks very similar to the coins my buddy finds at the beach near us. They sit in that salt water for so long they develop a crust that you have to break off or use electrolysis on them. The coin inside still has most of it's details but it becomes very thin and smaller in diameter. http://www.treasurenet.com/f/index....20859.0.html Report this Post to the Staff
