Yes, something stuck to the coin which is what everyone has been saying. Simon can speak for himself, but I would almost certainly bet that he...
Simon didn't tell you that. Where are you getting that from. The black is not extra metal.
Acetone will absolutely not damage a coin in any way if you soak it. It won't change the surface, won't change the finish, nothing. Once you...
You used acid on nickels in the 60s, or you just used acid in the 60s? :D I agree with the others. It's fun and you might just find a key date....
What does the date and "In God" look like? Definitely some damage, but it also looks like some notching.

It could be a die crack. Die cracks are so common that you are not going to find anything written or published about the cracks on specific dies.
Yep, MD. And Jim nailed the die deterioration doubling on the '58.
