Well my fiancee works at dairy queen and I was looking through their bucket like I always do and I found this..... Can anyone tell me whats going on with this coin? I have seen a few coins like this here and there but this one really seemed to stand out. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff

northwestseeker Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 02/27/2011 12:03 am found something very similar not a short while ago but it turns out the plating wore off of natural causes. Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 02/27/2011 11:29 am Five minutes and a bottle of nitric acid and you can make all youb want. Extremely doubtful that wear would do it that completely. Want a Zincoln without an inside? A tiny nick, butyric acid and a few days will do it, or hold one over a hot flame and melt it out.

Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 02/27/2011 11:37 am I find those occasionally while searching and just throw them back....the only thing that would make me hesitate is if it looked BU or before 82...then I might investigate. Report this Post to the Staff
