Vindex Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 03/24/2020 12:00 pm I found this 1969S 1C in a coin roll. It weighs 2.10 grams. What kind of minting error is this? Report this Post to the Staff

Vindex Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 03/24/2020 3:52 pm At least tapered planchet gives me somewhere else to look. The acid theory does not hold up to the scientist in me who know how hard it would be to get acid to not effect the center of the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/25/2020 11:24 pm Acid eats the metal off evenly. It doesn't concentrate one area, it affects all areas. Edited by coop 03/25/2020 11:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
