<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1669794, member: 15199&quot;]Acid can differentiate a little in its activity due to crystallization changes from striking, but not much with silver. The weight if accurate is really just slightly below tolerances ( 11.5 grams +/- 0.4 grams).</p><p><br /></p><p>But yes, since the acid can react from all surfaces ( submerged) the diameter will be reduced also. It will be hard to tell, since the acid activity ( unless a resistive material is used to prevent it) will be even all around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, this is only my speculation, but I think fits better than counterfeit, wrong planchet, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you get a ASE, submerge it is acid for a while, checking it occasionally and see. The removed silver in solution can be reclaimed chemically.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
