foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 07/26/2010 01:42 am With that much corrosion and damage, it should have been a slam dunk. There is no surprise that the coin is underweight. Acid or buried as suggested would be the likely culprits. Bill Report this Post to the Staff
