[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3232401, member: 19165"]That thing has so many problems, I don't even know where to begin.... First, it clearly has some environmental damage. The porosity of the coin is unusual. Second, it has obviously been polished. Third, it has been dipped or acid washed... probably to remove the environmental damage. That's what caused the weird twisted appearance of the devices. Fourth... after all that, someone put this poor thing into a plastic flip and now it has traces of PVC all over it. The green you seen covering both sides is PVC, and must be removed with acetone. This poor coin probably just needs to be flipped into a wishing well, and hope for better luck in its next life.[/QUOTE]
