PoultryPickins New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 10/03/2017 5:00 pm I have a bag of coins from my great uncle and this ones buggering me. Cannot get a year off it. Is this corrosive abuse? He kept it for some reason. I must know what happened to this thing! Report this Post to the Staff

WheatBackPenny Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 10/03/2017 5:15 pm Not exactly sure why someone would acid dip a coin, but people do use coins for science experiments or it could have been accidental (unlikely). Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 10/03/2017 5:25 pm There are enough of them around that I would think there is a reason for it. I can't imagine being bored enough to decide to find some acid and see if coins could swim. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74881 Posts	Posted 10/03/2017 8:31 pm Unfortunately, it's been dipped in acid. Not sure why people would do this, but maybe out of boredom or a science experiment. Look out for these on ebay being sold as a error coin. Errers and Varietys.
