aristarchus123 Pillar of the Community United States 1696 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 7:14 pm I found this 1919-P in bank coin roll today. I am not too familiar with wear patterns, but the wear around the date does not look like other coins I have found. Has this one been acid-tested? Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6398 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 7:48 pm With this much wear the date would have been long gone unless it were brought up with acid treatment, probably with vinegar. Report this Post to the Staff

Saruma Pillar of the Community United States 968 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 10:07 pm Might be a Metal Detecting find. I've found a few Buffalo's when I was out detecting and all those years in the soil can make them look funny. I'm not certain that's the story behind this one, but it is a possibility.
