You see scratches okay I do to but still but doesn't explain the strong lettering on the penny especially the rim starting at vdb and ending by IN. Can we agree on that
I've followed your thread the whole way through and see no evidence of nothing . Yell and be mad all you want !! Do yourself a favor, sit right back and we'll tell you a tale ,a tale of a faithful Ship ........ Don't worry and get worked up over a worthless coin that's damaged to begin with . You now what I worry about every week but somehow know I'll survive ? ....
I’m only seeing a pair of cleaned coins with die deterioration and blisters/split plating. The 85 D is a bit of a MAD cent.
@Italy8686 You can’t compare acetone to a salt/vinegar solution. Acetone is a solvent that will remove organic contaminants. It doesn’t react with the surfaces of metals. Vinegar is an acid that will attack the metal and salt is abrasive. Both of these can leave visible, permanent damage on a coin. Also, nail polish remover IS NOT the same as acetone. Nail polish remover does contain acetone, but it also contains a variety of other chemicals/perfumes/skin conditioners, and these extra ingredients can vary from brand to brand. While the acetone is OK for removing organic residue, some/most/all of the extra ingredients may damage, discolor or leave a harmful residue on your coin. That’s why you should never use nail polish remover on a coin. BTW: I see nothing on your 85D dent that would indicate a clashed die. You would not see clash marks on a recessed area of the die (Lincoln's jacket, without any marks on the high points (fields). Go to www.maddieclashes.com and look at their overlays. That will give you a good background on where on a coin to look for evidence of clashing
Finally I get to great members to answer something. I didn't know. Thank you really. But before I did clean them the strike on rim of the 85d and 90d was already there. Now I'm still researching the 85 pics on rim errors.
There’s damage between 9 and 10 on the 85D related to split plating and the effects of hydrozyncite. Dipping in acid will remove the hydrozyncite and leave voids in areas were the substrate zinc is missing. This is related to sharp edges and thin plating stretching even thinner. It doesn’t take much to compromise a thin barrier like copper while in your pocket or circulation.
