Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73978 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 2:18 pm Maybe it was dipped in acid? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 2:21 pm The one on the left looks like that because of environmental damage or was dipped in acid. Not a mint error, to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 5:08 pm Probably a failed attempt to make a "texas" cent. (pieces of leather possibly too thin allowing the beating to flatten the details.) Those who suggested it was caused by an acid soak missed that he said the weight was right but the coin was now larger. It may have suffered environmental damage as well be the thinness and larger size comes from the " Texas Cent" treatment. Edited by Conder101 09/27/2018 5:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17918 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 6:09 pm I once dug up a Wheat cent when metal detecting in a forest in England. The soil was very acidic and it looked rather like Kevin's one, once I had cleaned it by electrolysis!
