heatsmu New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 01/25/2020 5:41 pm I'm not sure if someone spilt a chemical on this, or what. It has an indent on the back side with something that looks almost like nail polish (but it's not) inside the drop-down edge. The reverse side, looks normal. Be nice...I'm new.

Second, you should expect folks here to be nice to you regardless of whether you are new or not. Third, it looks to me like someone left concentrated Nitric or Hydrochloric acid on this silver Half Dollar. How much does it weigh?

heatsmu New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 01/25/2020 5:57 pm Well, thank you for the warm welcome! I will have to weigh it and get back to you. Thank you for looking at the post. I have another question about a 1980's quarter, that I posted earlier. Check it out, if you have time. I'm interested in what the issue may be. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/26/2020 7:14 pm If the weight is under weight, then it might be an acid experiment. If the weight is normal, it may have been heated with a torch and you are seeing metal movement. (Coin heated at a strong angle and the metal moved?) If the weight is heavy someone may have added something to the coin: (Glue/paint, soldier or nail polish) Either way, no premium because the coin is damaged. Report this Post to the Staff
