[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3262936, member: 59737"]So I have a coin that is assuredly damaged from something, but I realized that I don’t have the best knowledge on differentiating acid damage and through grease strikes. My assumptions are that grease would not leave layers or shelves, but instead a sort of smooth depression that increases towards the center of the grease pool. Also, I assume that the coin struck through grease would not have significant color changes whereas acid would change the surface color where it interacted. Lastly, the reverse of a through grease should be more sharp/detailed compared to a regular strike. What are some other indicators between the two?
