Possible left in solution just long enough for the chemical breakdown to begin, then was removed and loosen metals reformed. Rim is not affected like a nitride would do.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/02/2017 2:03 pm If the weight is normal, then it is flattening from something. PSD (whatever happened to it is not all that important, it is a damaged coin) If the weight is lighter than normal then some metal was removed. It doesn't appear to look like acid. Acid would remove metal from the faces and edge first. The rim is there, so I rule out acid dipped coin. PSD I ruled out Dryer Coin as the rims are not folded over the devices.
