youngmaster Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 09/01/2019 9:36 pm hmm never heard of it I'm no expert by any means but id like to respond if thats ok. The metal and or if its a fake or is scale reading properly I'm assuming it is though. So the question is is there any fakes made in that year and is it picked up by magnet. This isn't going to answer any questions per say but might help you find more answers. Ill check back to see what others might have mentioned on it. Thanks for sharing interesting indeed.

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 09/01/2019 9:51 pm It's been dipped in acid. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
youngmaster Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 09/01/2019 10:21 pm After looking around this is what I gathered. 1942 D should weigh at 3.11gm according to Red Book and 1.52 in thickeness according to google. So if its at 1.54g and .45 thick its only a really worn out cent. Again though I'm no expert. Thanks for sharing! Report this Post to the Staff

Sarge50 Pillar of the Community United States 768 Posts	Posted 09/01/2019 10:30 pm Coinfrog.....not disagreeing with anything you say sir, but my question is how does acid THIN a coin without losing its obverse and reverse devises? I can't imagine acid shrinking the thickness of a coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/01/2019 10:39 pm The coin's images are deeply struck - acid just quickly eats away at them until they appear misshapen. Left on long enough, the acid would probably destroy any relationship to the original coin. This is just a deliberate effort to trick a potential buyer. Report this Post to the Staff

youngmaster Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 09/02/2019 10:35 am I dont know much about acid for the coin or if intentional or accidental or a reaction or if theres a market for such coins. I'm a little curious... It seems to me that it is extreamly worn and I dont know I guess dipped into acid and maybe dipped it numorously. My thoughts were wear but I'm not sure it would create that look onto it so I could be wrong. Sorry for so many theories. GL Report this Post to the Staff
Sasquatch Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 09/02/2019 10:45 am Normal wear removes the mainly high points of the coin. Acid removes the high and low points evenly while distorting the impression made by the die. Report this Post to the Staff
