Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 02/12/2022 7:01 pm AS has been said - better pics needed. And also, as has been said, what can be seen hints at a dunk in acid (Nitric acid probably). Better pics will confirm. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 02/16/2022 5:08 pm Yes exactly--I agree @jimmy. It would be nice to know the diameter to be sure though.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/16/2022 6:08 pm Thinned and shrunk from acid. Probably used in a soda machine back then to get a 10 cent soda for a cent. Report this Post to the Staff
Jujucoins Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 12:22 pm O.k. this is not due to acid. The coin is not damaged it's just smaller diameter size. I don't have the tool to measure the coin. The edge of the coin has not been filed it's all smooth. Report this Post to the Staff
