silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 8:35 pm I see the nickel has problems. Look for full picture but seem to be Sulfuric acid H 2SO 4. This acid do not attac the cooper, just the nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95984 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 9:15 pm was this quarter encased in a bezel? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 9:20 pm @leni, most often when we see a groove around the rim like this, we ascribe it to the coin having been encased or in a bezel, as mentioned by @dear. I don't see how it could have left the mint looking like this.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 08/30/2022 02:09 am 5.6 gr with acid interaction is normal. Me I will forgot the bezel. I do not see this here. Damage; It is just post mint strike damage. Except who do, no others can say exact the source. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21608 Posts	Posted 08/30/2022 08:15 am Whatever the cause, this could not have happened when the coin was struck so that means it is PMD Report this Post to the Staff
Lenimay New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 08/30/2022 8:46 pm You think it's an error that is worth anything I have never seen on like it anywhere Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 08/30/2022 8:48 pm Sorry but it is not a mint error—just damage. Only worth face value. Of course save it if you want since the cost of ownership is low.
