No this aint acid this has to do with the pressure when the coin is pressed. You see it alot on nickels from 1981-1985. This is the worse Ive seen so far though. (Defective die) thats what the error is called.

You are thinking of the effects of what is called Die Deterioration...but, graceoutcast is right. The nickel was damaged in an acid bath. This is no error, just damage.

Thanks,
Bill
