I did, but not in chemistry class. This isn't my story, but I did independently verify each of the "acts upon" observations at various points in...
The coin in question is the thin one on top. It's been etched by acid -- that preserves detail, but makes the coin thinner and eats away from the rim.
I'm surprised it circulated enough to sustain THIS much wear. I see what looks like a good bit of wear on the ribbon and hair high points, but...
Yep. A friend brought seven or eight metal cans of coins for me to look through. Her father had stashed them in the walls of his house. They...

Yeah, you can't say that they're worth the same as an equal weight of top-grade copper -- but as long as there's a steady market of people willing...
I was trying to decide whether it could've been a lamination that fell off after striking. It looks like damage, but the lack of corresponding...
