<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WVAwise, post: 2007154, member: 72491&quot;]AppreciAte it conder101. Is there any rhyme or reason to the characteristics of a coin that&#039;s had an extended acid bath . I understand that the natural wear of A coin PRiOR to an acid bath would (seemingly) yield variations in weight n dimension. Why though, is there generally a&nbsp; </p><p>synonymity with acid bath coins and &quot;missing clad&quot; coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming that the &quot;after mAth&quot;&nbsp; of these altered coins pertains greatly to the amount of time that the coin is in the acid, why ( in the case of my dime shown) is there no copper visible on either face of the coin. I understand that the copper portion of the coin is the first to &quot;react&quot; to the acid , thus depleting/ reducing the exposed copper core portion of the reeding, but my question is ....if this was an extensive acid bath, shouldn&#039;t at least a portion of the outer layer of copper nickel worn away, thus&nbsp; clearly exposing copper ? I&#039;m certainly not disputing what you said ... I&#039;m just trying to make sense of the process...thanks for your time[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
