Shanewood New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 12/10/2016 11:15 pm Dime that has an unreadable date. Weighs .89 to .91 it's as thin as regular printer paper. Possibly done with some sort of acid. Definitely not cut or sanded. Report this Post to the Staff

Shanewood New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 12/10/2016 11:37 pm That's what I think just curious how they did it. Since the texture is still there as well as you can still feel the abrasion. Just confused how its not flat images Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/10/2016 11:39 pm I would have to agree. Found this one and posted it a little while back. Acid seems to have been the conclusion. http://goccf.com/t/275353 In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Edited by spru 12/10/2016 11:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Shanewood New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 12/11/2016 02:13 am After a better magnifier and a better lit room. You can actually see the date. It's a 1955 but 10% chance it could 1956 but 100% a 1950s Report this Post to the Staff
