Spence Moderator United States 34437 Posts	Posted 12/30/2019 8:29 pm Copper cents that have been soaked in acid also sometimes look like this. Can you please show us what the edge of this coin looks like? Thx.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/30/2019 9:37 pm looks ground down to imitate a dime. Not an error, just damage. Only worth a cent though, sorry. Keep searching! Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7083 Posts	Posted 12/30/2019 11:00 pm Yep,I think it's (was) a soda cent.. We as kids would file down cents on a concrete curb until it became the size of a dime..and then enjoy a cool refreshing soda for all our hard work... Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/31/2019 2:10 pm Acid. If it were ground down, the thickness would be normal. It is thinned in all directions from the acid exposure. They used to turn cents into dimes to buy a soda from a vending machine. (10 cents then, and made them in chemistry class) I remember 7 cent machines for the 7 ounce bottles of coke and 7 up. So they would put a thin cent into the machine and get three more cents back in change. (The change allowed to pay 2 cents for the bottle deposit then) Report this Post to the Staff
