Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 09:28 am I'm trying to get a grasp of this coin - are these anomalies incuse or raised? The lighting does not help in determining this.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 09:45 am Suggest giving the coin a long soak in 100% acetone. Result might narrow down what's happening. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 11:12 am The last picture makes me think the areas are incuse. I'm on team corrosion for this coin.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 3:00 pm to the CCF! I think you may be on track with the coin being 'eaten.' If these areas are incuse, it looks like damage from an acidic substance. It could be a Cupholder Coin as noted above. Just Post Mint Damage, or PMD.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 4:13 pm It took more than being in a cup holder to eat away this much metal. Some kind of acid spilled onto it. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 4:24 pm I agree, strong acid too. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15441 Posts	Posted 05/10/2023 04:57 am to the CCF A bit of photo overload - we need single in-focus and cropped photos of both sides of the coin and at most a few detail shots.
