Any info on this and what it might be worth would be appreciated. I am not a collector of coins I just hang onto unusual ones. Thank you for any info........Terri   12-06-2007, 01:18 PM   #2 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 17,752 Terri: First, welcome to the forum. Second, it sounds like an acid job. Just dip the coin in acid and it gets eaten away, and becomes very thin. However, it is easier to tell if you can post a picture. __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!"
