    Looks more like corrosion.

    Hmmmm. Trouble may be I'm no picture snatcher. Let me see if I can't get some better pictures in the next couple days. Stay of execution until then... ;)

    OK, forget about those better pictures, you guys talked me into it. Well, no, you gave me the key words, "acid bath," and I looked up some pictures, and that talked me into it. But you taught me something (there, try arguing with that! :D)

    But anyway, OK, now I'd like to see some opinions on this one and its rough exterior. Same answer, acid bath? If so, it couldn't have happened at the Mint when they "washed" this, could it have? They never goof up like that in their acid-concentrations? I'm just asking. Also, on this date, it looks like something happened, there, doesn't it? I just really like this one, though, that's why I'm asking. I mean, no delicate pretty boy mint state coin, here. This one looks like it's going to kick their ass if they mess with it. :)D)

    EDIT: Pictures are forthcoming (forgot to add them! :goofer:)

    Acid in the bath. Chicken in every pot. We all must vote.
