Decaf94drew Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 12:41 am It looks like extreme Die Deterioration but weighs at 5.5g is this some form of PMD? It has normal looking reeding for the amount of circulation its seen. Edited by Decaf94drew 06/29/2022 01:01 am Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 01:43 am @dec, being underweight and having that dimpled surface makes me think that this coin has been exposed to a corrosive environment, perhaps being immersed in acid. When you look at the edge, does it look like the copper core has been eaten away?

Dearborn Moderator United States 97159 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 08:25 am Yep, that would be my guess too - this coin had spent a lot of time in a caustic environment, whether in the soil or dipped in vinegar or acid is hard to tell.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 11:34 am Correct answers. great jobs! All get an 'A'. Welcome to becoming teachers. More than a yes or no, but what happened to the coin, so they OP's know what to look for on these and why are not a mint error, but an altered coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Decaf94drew Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 3:44 pm Do I need a better picture of the reeding? We still going with acid damage? What's your thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 3:56 pm Acid damage. Even in a cup holder if something like Coke was stilled on it, ithe coin would look similar to this. Spend it and move on. Report this Post to the Staff
