This topic used to come up with some frequency here. It leads to a lot of heat, and very little agreement. I assume from the way you've phrased...
Well, again, if there was actual PVC damage, nothing was going to undo that. Yes, folks here have said that an acetone soak has left copper coins...
I've seen this claim before, but I'd like to see some support. I'm at a loss as to how it could be true, and arguments I'm finding in favor have...

Don't know if the policy has changed, but circa 2014 when I complained about defects on the coins I received, they refunded my return shipping...
Aren't those lines in the left field a design element? I see them in the illustrations on the Mint's site: [IMG]
Well done!
And that's why we like dateless Buffaloes with mint marks! Vinegar soak?
