<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1526055, member: 66&quot;]Soaked in acid.&nbsp; If it was struck on a split planchet the details&nbsp; would be much weaker because there would not be enough metal to strike them up.&nbsp; With an acid soaked coin the acid works on all the surfaces fairly equally and all the details remain visible all the way down to paper thinness.&nbsp; Another clue is the fact that the coin is smaller in diameter and the rims are almost missing (See how IGWT is right on the edge of the coin).&nbsp; A split planchet coin would still be the full diameter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
