<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WVAwise, post: 2009374, member: 72491&quot;]Thanks much for your input jeffB. Your perspective certainly shed some light on a subject that&#039;s pretty foggy to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Kind of frustrating after one takes it all in. Outside the practice of chemistry, any scenario&nbsp; involving the subjugation of a coin with acid/chemicals/ toxins is a bit perplexing to me. More so confusing when you take Into account the dynamics of A) coin composition , B) Application of deteriorant, C) Intentions of the&nbsp; individual defacing the coin, D) outcome of the &quot;experiment&quot; . </p><p><br /></p><p>Given the magnitude of collector&#039; appreciation for error varieties , the sky seems to be the limit with regards to deception . </p><p><br /></p><p>Certainly this isn&#039;t news to collectors lol.... It&#039;s just still fresh in my mind that my dime was likely tampered with . </p><p><br /></p><p>Nonetheless, I havnt convinced myself entirely that this&nbsp; dime is tampered with and or acid soaked. This isn&#039;t merely blind optimism and I&#039;m not in denial about what the evidence indicates. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I&#039;m not sold on acid Soaking&nbsp; is because I believe the damage N these pictures I provided is misleading , not intentionally so, but because I believe you have to have 100 % tangibility and all 360 degrees of visibility in order to apply your best judgement. Magnification (in addition to tangibility and vision)&nbsp; also enables a</p><p>Better understanding of this coin and where I&#039;m coming from when I stated initially in this thread that I suspect a possible split planchet or annealing error ... , and or annealing error mis struck on an all clad planchet .</p><p><br /></p><p>Any&nbsp; way....my local coin guy ... Who applies his knowledge and experience very conservatively .... Opted not to attAch an &quot;identity&quot; regarding the inconsistencies of this dime... He just</p><p>Told me</p><p>That I had a really nice</p><p>Coin and to take it to a local coin show that will be in mine and his</p><p>Hometown In</p><p>about a</p><p>Month . He told me to fish out the big wig booths and error specialists , and gauge a reaction from</p><p>All the various vendors ....</p><p>I will know for sure then and will gladly be quick to update even if or when they say its acid soaked </p><p>Thanks for all yA&#039;lls input </p><p>I will b glad to take more pics</p><p>For clarification&#039;s sake </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly.... Anyone with pics of acid soaked or acid bath clad coins that are even vaguely similar to the&nbsp; physical characteristics of my 68 dime ..... It would b greatly appreciated and helpful if you could post them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Much appreciation[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
