John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/23/2022 06:54 am Depending on weight,it is either heat damage or acid damage. I think it is heat (blow torch) damage. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/23/2022 10:18 am Your CENT looks as if it have taken a bath in acid. Practice your close up photos as they are terribly out of focus. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/23/2022 11:57 am I feel the weight will be normal and it was altered by heat. If it were reduced by acid, then it will be under weight. First clue for acid reduction is the rim missing on the coin. This one looks like a full rim. So I'm thinking this coin will be in the 3.10 grams weight range. Edited by coop 07/23/2022 11:58 am Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5856 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 10:02 pm I was thinking acid dipped at first but Coop makes a good point about the full rims on this one. Acid would show on the rims for the amount of obv/rev damage showing. Hopefully, the OP gives us the weight. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
