Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 12:46 am Damaged for sure. There is a phenomenon called orange peel, but this looks like damage by corrosion. I'd guess the weight is a bit low.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 12:49 am Sorry, not a "guy" but this looks to me to be some sort of environmental or chemical exposure/corrosion/damage, post mint for sure. Certainly no extra value here. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95936 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 10:35 am I agree - it is damaged. Probably had been in a very caustic or acidic environment. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 10:54 am How can you tell a coin that was dipped in acid: 1. The weight will be reduced. The width and height will also be reduced. 2. The surface will look real rough. 3. The acid will remove the outer edge more? Why because acid eats the surface, the edge has three surfaces, thus the rims will go away first. uploaded/coop/1988-P_ACID_DIPPED_NICKEL_CoinMasters_CCF_A.jpg[/img 4. Why do they alter coins?
