I came across a 1944 LWC w/o a rev. rim.& no wheat heads. Weight 2.8 grams. I'd like to know how this happened, rarity and ball park value.    Edited by chris12018

Acid? It looks like hits under scope. No acid signs on obv. And no pitting due to corrosion. I get better pics of the rev. What about the rim?

Looks like damage to me of some sort. Definately not someting that would happen during the minting process. As to what caused the damage, hard to tell, but damage is damage - no value.

I have no idea how it was damaged but I do know for certain that it is just damage.

It's PMD. You can see where the rim is rolled over on the rim obverse side. Rim is missing on reverse. Damaged. |

Yeah, this has nothing at all to do with acid. The coin was beaten down around the edge on the reverse. No telling why.

No acid, just beaten to death.

If it had been acid, the obverse rim would have been missing.

i see now, I was looking at the pics on a different computer and couldn't see the pics very well, I thought someone put acid drops on he reverse only.
