<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silverbull, post: 1669741, member: 46352&quot;]I would say this is a very likely assessment of what this coin may have been through. Someone possibly tried to &quot;milk&quot; the silver out of this coin with some sort of caustic reaction.. On the edge of the coin there does seem to be some evidence of pitting, even though the edge is intact. I would certainly surmise by looking at the pitting that this coin met some sort of acidic fate.. I think you may be spot on here. </p><p>But would it actually shrink the overall diameter of the coin? </p><p><br /></p><p>I checked for a while last night for all the hallmarks of a Chinese fake. It doesn&#039;t appear to have any of them. So before I conclude that this coin has been dipped in acid, is there any body out there with any acid dipped coin specimens to observe for comparison?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for all the help guys![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
