<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1068854, member: 66&quot;]The fact that the detail is so well struck up on such an incredibly thin planchet is the key that it is a acid soaked coin.&nbsp; If you actually struck a planchet that thin there is no way you would get that much detail.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then you have the reeding even though the coin is obviously smaller in diameter than a regular quarter.&nbsp; The reeding is created by the forcing of the metal against the collar during striking, so to be reeded it had to at one time be the same diameter as a quarter.&nbsp; As the acid attacked the edge and reduced the diameter it reduced it evenly so the pattern of the reeds was preserved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
