coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 4:04 pm My guess, acid/chemical erosion or environmental damage. Edited by coin rejector 06/28/2023 4:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Kkoch New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 4:09 pm I have a Modern nickel that has the same look. Been curious what may cause this issue. I was thinking this was caused by grease on the die. Really dont have a clue never looked into it. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74193 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 4:37 pm I agree with coin rejector's comment. It's been damaged after it left the U.S Mint. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 4:45 pm The obverse is acid damage. The reverse looks like it's been through a fire sometime in it's life. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 4:50 pm PMD for sure. Acid was my first thought. Could a wire wheel cause that? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19155 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 6:06 pm Post-strike damage, yes. Has lost some metal--perhaps spent a bit of time in acid. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 6:36 pm It is a little hard to tell, but anyone else think that the last digit of the date is actually a number 9?

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 8:00 pm Does look more like a 9. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/29/2023 06:30 am Looks like it also had a mint mark. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 06/29/2023 09:56 am It looks like a wire brush may have been used on the obverse with enough pressure to remove a substantial amount of metal. I don't think it's acid damage because the reverse doesn't show the same metal etching. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 06/29/2023 5:50 pm The acid could have just been puddled up on the obverse and never touched the reverse. With a wire wheel, I would think there would be more straight lines than it has. Report this Post to the Staff
