coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/18/2016 08:35 am Looks like it was heated with a torch altering the surface. PSD. Nothing in the striking process could cause this. It is a damaged coin. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/18/2016 6:36 pm Sandblasting would leave just pits, it wouldn't more the metal. A struck through would prevent the strike. The strike is complete, just altered by intense heat moving the metal. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/18/2016 6:57 pm A coin dropped into acid with reduce the coin evenly. The rims are mostly equal except where the high heat happened. The rims of the coins dipped in acid get reduced more. Both sides and the edge. So it reduces them quicker. Edited by coop 09/18/2016 6:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
