spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/09/2017 03:00 am Thanks for the pics! Based on that and the edge description, I have to think that it was partially dipped in acid that removed the copper plating equally on both sides and that explains the rim being noticeably thinner. I'd wait for more experienced folks to comment though.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/09/2017 08:27 am That was what I expected. It was dipped into something that removed the plating. What? That is a good question. Report this Post to the Staff
