coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/02/2019 8:14 pm Note really: They cancel coin stock so it can be reused as a coin. But instead they are sold for a lot more than face value from the recyclers. Report this Post to the Staff

chrisof4 Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted 11/04/2019 10:03 pm Greasy, I thought there was some question about acetone and copper coins? Maybe because of the already extensive damage it does not matter with this one? Just double checking first. Report this Post to the Staff
