coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/01/2020 5:47 pm It is an acid dipped coin. First thing to look for on these is the rim. Note on this one how thin the rim is. Why does that happen? Because the acid eats evenly. Top bottom and edge. Sometimes the edge will be gone completely: Note the center coin in this image? (1961-D) The longer the coin sits in the acid, the more of it goes away. Edited by coop 02/01/2020 5:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
