Oklabbq New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/25/2025 12:01 pm I am not real sure what is going on with this Memorial cent. It weighs 1.3g and is pretty much the size of a dime. Looks like it has had a very hard life. Any input would be greatly apprecieated. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21593 Posts	Posted 05/25/2025 12:11 pm It has had an acid bath which reduces the weight and thins out the devices. PMD A capped die would have full rims and only have one side affected. Almost forgot To the CCF Edited by JimmyD 05/25/2025 12:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Oklabbq New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/25/2025 2:41 pm Bad acid trip. Thank you for the welcomes and for the feedback. Are coins like these worth keeping? The second picture is a 1987 so it could definitely be a blister. To bad blisters are worthless. Edited by Oklabbq 05/25/2025 2:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

First off, your opening coin was exposed to a very long dip in pool acid (or equivalent) and the other coins below that should be posted in new topics for each of them. (one coin per topic) unless the coins show related or similar points of interest on them Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
