Maybe so, but getting ahold of a ballistic bag isn't that easy, and if you do how do you handle it and get the coins out of it? I suppose you...
How do you explain the significantly reduced Specific gravity? An acid soak wouldn't do that.
I'm hoping to get people, not just the OP, to stop using the thumbnail option. I do try to help people here, I WANT to help them if I can, but...
Something has ground the rim down, it did not leave the mint like that.
2014 has it listed the same way. Once they make a mistake it is very difficult to get it changed. For example the S mint figures. For just...

The SG would seem to rule out a simple acid soak because an acid soak would not lower the SG and the value he got from the college is well below...
Might have something, might not. I don't know because I'm not going to open a bunch of thumbnail images to find out.
No he wouldn't. Too much competition.
I'll second this. The catalogs and online images are nice and helpful (and their images are much better than they used to be) but to REALLY know...
