spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 07/17/2021 4:25 pm It looks acid etched, so just damaged. If that's the case, it's worth one cent.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/17/2021 4:36 pm Acid damage is a good guess. Just worth bullion value, which is very little. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/17/2021 6:15 pm Acid bath damage. If it had solid rims you'd have something, but this poor cent is only post mint damage ( PMD). No premium, sorry. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 07/17/2021 8:20 pm Certainly could be damage from an acid bath, but abrasion from grit blasting is a possibility too I think. Either was, I agree that it is a kinda cool find, even if worth pretty much face value.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/17/2021 9:30 pm Sometimes we may wonder why they did it. But the coin may have been extremely dark and they thought they would help the coin back to normal. But doing the wrong thing, the coin was ruined. Report this Post to the Staff
