allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 05/11/2021 5:03 pm Wow strange looking coin! Dipped in chemical or other material? Note the small figures left of Lincoln's head. maybe planchet problems? I was looking at the coin because I thought it had a doubled ear. What do you think caused the problem.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/11/2021 6:12 pm I agree, some sort of chemical damage. Post mint damage ( PMD). Keep searching! Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/11/2021 7:48 pm Acid/chemical damage should reduce the weight. Heat damage the weight should be near normal. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/12/2021 11:47 am It does indeed, but I thought that might be some sort of optical illusion. If they were raised, thinking an acetone soak might help. Edited by Coinfrog 05/12/2021 11:49 am Report this Post to the Staff
Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 05/12/2021 12:47 pm Just chalk it up as a damaged coin and spend it. Report this Post to the Staff
