<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 2222632, member: 33176"]I wonder why this works...I mean when the coin is struck, the date is a recess in the die and the metal expands into the recess, compressed from the area around it. If the metal of the date is more porous than the surrounding material, would it be more susceptible to the acid...or, if using Nic-A-Date would it soak up the chemical better and just discolor?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
