Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 10/11/2018 12:34 am I'm suspecting that it was dipped in acid, causing the coin to lose some of its density, explaining why a significant amount of weight was shaved off.

jairo alveno Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 10/11/2018 4:45 pm well my opinion, is that if the loss of weight was for acid was on the edge of the coin but do not show, that is intact Report this Post to the Staff
