It's PMD. https://www.error-ref.com/acid-shrunk-coins/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95855 Posts	Posted 02/15/2026 9:57 pm I concur with the acid theory Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
