Part of it looks like PMD but the date throws me off cause it looks like it was made this way. Thanks in advance for any info you might have. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 07/13/2023 7:31 pm I agree at a 1960 heat damaged cent. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/14/2023 12:22 pm Gereraly, acid takes away metal making it lighter in weight and heat damage does not remove metal so the weight will remain near normal. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/14/2023 3:32 pm Acid damage. If enough heat were applied to this or any other coin to ripple the surface, it would melt the whole coin. Along with turning the surface black. Report this Post to the Staff
