Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 01/26/2025 11:51 am I'm on team acid for this one. This quarter should be underweight. @mike, welcome to CCF!

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 01/26/2025 11:57 am Agree with acid exposure on this coin, note that the copper core disintegrated more so than the cupro-nickel layers. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95936 Posts	Posted 01/26/2025 5:34 pm to CCF acid was used to dissolve the softer copper core. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

ErrorHunter1 Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 02/19/2025 4:47 pm I found a quarter with exact similar damage . It was stuck under the sand on the beach. It's obviously corroded but not necessarily acid. Although it looks like acid PMD. Best regards, EH1 Report this Post to the Staff
