Silviosi retired after this one.

Maybe he's busy re-dipping all his coins in boric acid.

Bobby, it would be interesting if you could stand the quarter in the acid so only the lower half was immersed.

Yeah, sorry I didn't think of that, but I think I've proven my point. To be honest, I think the unsubmerged part wouldn't get off completely unscathed in a sealed jar.

Be it in or on the last coin I will admit I've seen no insect evidence inside thus far. Thanks, Doug.

I read all those posts. The hydrochloric acid it is what can solute the cooper and other metals. This is know from more then 400 years. So sorry nothing new, except you show BOBBY only the cooper and not the Ni. this acid attack the both.

Your opinion I do not interpreted well the studies, but we apply all the times and give results.

Mild Acids are those who cause the most damage to the non ferrous metals, if the conditions will be reach.

@ NumismaticsFTW I do not retired, just be busy and far from my office, if someone want to know.

Bobby your experiment was with a strong acid and the only one strong who can react strong with the cooper as you do. Mild acids will not solute the cooper over the time but could have some physical impacts and changes. If I understand well you want to contradict hundreds of years of chemistry and materials proprieties and proved was wrong. Go ahead because this will be Nobel Price for you.

@ SAP: hydrochloric acid it is HCl and to see what is happened in combination with cooper, look at this course video:

If you involve temperature and you broke the ions then is other ball game. You say 2 HCl which for me how you wrote it is other thing. This is meaning Hydrogen chloride and it is complete other solute.

No point in letting a little thing like being wrong get in the way of being right!

Amazing, he's still right and everyone else is wrong. Funny though, we KNEW it was going to happen.
