ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19167 Posts	Posted 01/13/2022 07:34 am I'm thinking acid damage. I performed an acid experiment on a couple copper cents many, many years ago--the results were very similar. Yes, exposure to heat can produce a somewhat similar look, but with somewhat less 'fine waviness'. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96451 Posts	Posted 01/13/2022 07:58 am Don't think this was acid here. there are too many identical markings to the right of all the devices - of note the apparent heavy incuse gouge(?) on the right vertical side of almost every letter. I think that acid damage would be way more random. It looks like the planchet chattered while being struck. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/13/2022 6:34 pm Post mint damage, most likely from a blow torch. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 01/13/2022 7:29 pm I would like the weight of this coin. Something is fun here. Also if possible to see the sides of the coin on 90 degree of the waves orientation. I do not exclude any theorem till now, but the waves, the R and O colors and also the letters and the left side wheat put me in balance. This was bonze not cooper, same base material which react different. Edited by silviosi 01/13/2022 7:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 877 Posts	Posted 01/13/2022 8:11 pm I believe that the images are distorted a bit. These do not appear to be clear and concise representations of the coin in hand to offer an opion other than the fact that the dots on the reverse seem to be somewhat elongated. But only more focused images will tell. Are these images of the loose coin? What is the background or medium the images were captured? I find a definitive answer difficult to ascertain based on what I observe and highly respect the consensus that says acid is the culprit. Again, I learn here. Report this Post to the Staff
