 to the forum! What you are going to hear is that it was caused from being dipped in acid. I have seen this on several coins and have to wonder why the tails go towards the center. To me, that doesn't fit the dipped in acid theory. For now, I guess no one really knows what causes it for sure. If you weigh that coin, I'm sure it is also under weight. The weight of a 1936 Lincoln Cent should be around 3.11 grams. I'm pretty sure it is a damaged coin, I'm just not sure how it was damaged.  |

Looks like the die flow running toward the center. I don't think it's acid, the rims are intact. jmo Maybe excessive upset and late die stage?

I have seen that before on an acid dipped coin. I always felt it was in a test tube or contain that container that made the flow upwards on the devices leaving these lines.  Look at the obverse of the second coin from the top (obverse 1961) It was probably not left in the acid as long as the 1961 cent I found. |

Wow this one really gets you thinking. If you say it's acid, I agree Coop. Something made it flow to the center though, not just a tilted coin in a container. Maybe it had been struck by a warped die?

Note on the edge images of the stack of coins. The 1961 shows an uneven surface on the stacked coin image. The acid thinned it a lot.

I can be pretty dense sometimes, but wouldn't a thin edge make the acid flow outward?

I don't have an opinion on this coin yet. Can you post photo's of the obverse, and the edge of the coin? |

Nevermind, I got it. The coin was upside down.

Can you post a picture of the edge? I don't see where the obverse came in contact with acid, I'd like to see if there's an acid line on the edge.

CoinMasters which side are you talking about? I posted pics of both sides but I can take a picture in a way that you can see the coin flat so you can see the thickness of it

Yes the thickness side is the third side. Give me a good view of that. I have to go now, but I'll be back.
