One of the most acid-washed of the acid-washed I've ever found where you can still read the date. Certainly weren't trying to make it into a dime-sized coin, but apparently seeing how little they could have left and still kind of have a coin. 1884 Indian Head cent damage - acid wash 0.64g Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 08/27/2021 01:27 am This reminds me of a shipwreck coin damaged by salt water. Both the effect of the salt and the rock-tumbler effect on the coin does similar damage over time. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
