gigi2110 Pillar of the Community United States 1770 Posts	Posted 07/25/2023 9:45 pm This coin is in relatively excellent condition, but as you can see the surface of the coin is different from a regular coin, I would like to know why it looks like this, is it some kind of error? Thank you! gigi2110 Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96467 Posts	Posted 07/25/2023 9:51 pm Sorry, in my opinion, this coin is in not-so-good condition. It appears like it was exposed to acid or was in an acidic environment for a time. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

This coin could be one of the 'Satin Finish' coins.~~ Never mind! Thanks, Dearborn. Lost my mind for a minute there! ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Edited by Yokozuna 07/25/2023 10:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

gigi2110 Pillar of the Community United States 1770 Posts	Posted 07/25/2023 10:43 pm @Dearborn thank you! Here are the images of a Washington quarter I have that it was exposed to acid, I take photos side by side of the two coins and the weight of both coins. You will see that the quarter have 5g supposed to have 5.60-5.75 but the nickel has 4.92 what is in the range of the weight of 5g. gigi2110 Report this Post to the Staff
