Also on part of rim is way much thinner than other almost as if it didnt have rim in the one area. Can anyone give me some lessons on whats up with coin? Pleaseeeee Sorry bout all the pics. Just making sure yall can see my question spots * edited by staff to remove extra images * Report this Post to the Staff

In this case the die cracks are in common areas on the coin. You might want to hold on to it as a reference piece. Is that the true color of the coin? Looks pinkish,that would mean it was harshly cleaned. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74999 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 4:20 pm Because of the cleaning, it's worthless now (worth face value). Only use 100% pure Acetone next time. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Lizsharpe New Member 24 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 9:23 pm The coin is actually not a pink color its like a shiny goldish bronze color. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 9:32 pm These pics do not convey an original surface - perhaps you could try again. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 10:05 pm If you cleaned them, then I'm guessing the photo color is quite accurate. Next time, only soak coins in 100% acetone (available at hardware stores/Dollar General/etc.) to not damage the surface of the coin for the worse. Report this Post to the Staff
